Hey everybody,

I have to make a database with textworks but someone requested to see how many times a record has been viewed. Does anyone know how to write a script for this problem? I'm not great with programming

My last question is: I also have to show a "waiting"-cursor when the seachingprogress takes more then 2 seconds, how to make this?

Thanks in advance.

Greets, Rob

Are you talking DB/TextWorks or WebPublisher?

The script for the first one would be totally different depending on which product you're talking about.

And DB/TextWorks already displays a search progress dialog if the search takes more than a second or so.

I'd like to see the visitcount on records in Textworks in my management-form in a field "TimesModified".

Sorry about the cursor, I didn't fill the database yet so I didn't have a progress that took more then 2 seconds so..

And I found another little problem for me
You can't seach on a date which will be calculated in a formbox, can you?
Cause if my field "TimeExist"(@date - DateAvailable) in my DB is higher than 5 years(1825 days), my DB should notice that the image in that record should be written on a cd.
If I search now in my DB it gives the message that there are no records.
How to solve this??


Thanks Lisa

You could do this with a JavaScript in your display form. But you'd need to ensure that your users always used the same form, and there's no way to prevent them from switching to the Basic Record Form.

I think you're trying to retrieve records where the DateAvailable field is more than 5 years ago.

You can't say "If @DATE - DateAvailable is greater than 1825", but you can search your DateAvailable field for <@DATE - 1825.
