Hi,
I'm new to groove and have read a good deal about it plus played around with
a trial. I'm particular interested in writing scripts for enhanced behaviour
within the forms tool. Here are thes questions I hope someone can help me
with:-
1. When to use lookups and when to use GetRecordFieldValue or
GetParentRecordFieldValue? It would appear you use the lookups when you want
to access a range of fields in the form and the latter 2 when you only need
to access a single record? Not sure if my assumption is correct......
2. Can't see when it would be appropriate to access a Parent record?
Or is a parent record one that has a number of other records grouped
underneath it? For example within the design sandbox, I can click on Field
groups and group them together - is the group name the parent field?
3. Can't figure out how to use ApplicationPreferences and the associated
methods. All I want to do is setup a confirmation letter template for end
users will invoke by clicking a script button. I need certain fields to
change within the letter template (e.g. name + address as with a mail merge)
according to the current record.
Thanks for any help....
