It can only be done within a script by explicitly declaring the repetition number - which is found as the number you enter at the bottom of the dialog that's used when selecting a field to affect within ScriptMaker. But, there is no equivalent Set Repetition script step. Incidentally, using FileMaker Pro 3.0v3, we can get the nth value of a repeating field within a script by using the Get Repetition script step. I will show you a much simpler way to do it, and it can all be done within the same file. It's not that this is so difficult to do, but it is inconvenient, a little time-consuming and causes a proliferation of cross-file subscripts. In order to do what you are trying to do, you would be forced to create a temporary file, import record IDs into it and then loop through a script in that database that calls a script in the first database. However, when you do a find your current found set is replaced by the new found set. When would this be useful in FileMaker? Consider the situation when you have a found set and you want to do a series of finds on each record in the found set. So, just about anything but a graphic or a sound can be coerced into a list. In FileMaker, by using the techniques in this article, a list must be a text field to work properly. In some languages, like C or AppleScript, for example, a list may contain any combination of data types, including other lists. If you have ever programmed in a language that has good list manipulation commands then you know how much more easily certain programming problems can be solved. Lists are one of the most powerful programming constructs, but haven't been available in FileMaker Pro. A list is a type of data, similar to text, numbers, dates, etc., but it can contain many items.
