Yes, you've read the title correctly. I made up my own Script Trigger. In fact, you too can make up your own, and make it do whatever you want!

In this video, I expand on FileMaker's Script Triggers to show you how to create and leverage the concept of an OnTabLoad event which happens each time the user clicks on a tab within a tab panel.

By moving to each tab, you have the opportunity to execute as many subscripts as desired. While FileMaker's Layout Script Triggers and Object Script Triggers limit you to one script, the number of branching subscripts is clearly unlimited. Use this knowledge to create and use cool techniques such as OnTabLoad!
