Hi Sunil and Anand,

Thanks for your replies.

you are taking two buttons but what happened is i must press the button two times for the complete functionality.

But,i need to achieve this by single click.

Can't  it possible in one click?

Thanks ..

[SunilChauhan]

see the 2nd attached file properly in my post

it is for single click only

With only one button and one click, I need to achieve the functionality.

Thanks...

HI Ravi,

What about the macro? You can easily create a macro to achieve your goal, and linked it with the button using the "Run Macro" option.

Kind regards,

Hi,

I am not sure if you are still looking for a solution but I came across this post, I did something similar recently.. There are different ways but you can have a look on this one:

1. You create a variable for example: vButtonAction and assign value 0 (or 1 or whatever you want actually what will separate selection later... Digits are the best way.).

2. Under the Button action the first action will be to set variable:

Variable: vButtonAction

Value: =if(vButtonAction=0,1,0)

3. You add second action for the same button: "Select in field"

Field: =if(vButtonAction=0,'F',null())

Search String: *

4, You add 3rd action for the same button: "Clear field"

Field: =if(vButtonAction=1,'F',null())
