replace text in a text frame - onRecordStart

[ilona]

Hello!

Does anyone know if there is an FP rule that replaces text in a text frame?

Here is what I'm trying to accomplish:

 

op1=Field("xyz");

 

if (op1!="")

{

FindTextFrame("abc").value=op1;

}

 

I was hoping that the above would replace the "value"(the actual text) in the frame with whatever is in op1, but it doesn't... I wonder what the "value" property of a text frame is then...

I can't use a simple return statement. This rule is in onRecordStart, and it's more complex than the above, but it's essentially what I need.

Any ideas?

Sure. You just need to tweak your syntax a little:

if (op1!="")
{ 
   FindTextFrame("abc").content = op1;
}

That was it... Thank you!
