Question

I'm working on a FileMaker Pro 10 database. On a particular layout ("license"), there are several fields and a button. When the button is clicked, a certificate (layout) is displayed reflecting the data entered in the license layout.

If I edit a field, then immediately click on the "View Certificate" button, the changes just made to the field do not appear on the certificate. However, if I edit the field, then click on another field, then click "View Certificate," the revised data is displayed on the certificate. Apparently, something about shifting focus to a different field triggers a data save.

How can I force this data save so that any time the user clicks on the button, the resulting certificate reflects the edits they have made?

Thank you,
Ben

Solution

In the script that is called on your "View Cerficiate" button, try adding a "Commit Record/Request" script step.
