Prior Selections Box?

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:26:13 GMT

Hi all,

I'm working on a side-by-side view of current and prior selections to help users compare and contrast data. I know there is a handy-dandy Current Selections box, but what about a Prior Selections box? I think it would be great to show the previous selections for easy reference.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Hello macroman,

Here's a quick app that will create a set of 100 placeholder variables for the history of GetCurrentSelections() to be stored into.

Maybe not an elegant method, but it doesn't require any data model tables or partial reloading or macros, but I think this could be modified to a variety of purposes.

Use the document level trigger for Any Selection to increment your history counter, and then just write the GetCurrentSelections() output to that incrementing variable list, you'll see your selection history follow along in the Input Box I created.
