Script Triggers now allow for all kinds of solution logic based on simple user actions. If the user changes tabs, switches layouts or enters into a field, you can now trigger a script.

Beyond these simple situations, you can also watch for any time a user hits any key on the keyboard - aside from fkeys and specialty keys on custom keyboards. This invokes a mind-opening realization, but some times it's hard to come up with ways to use these new features.

Well, how about a simple spelling fixer. Not a spelling checker. An actual script that will fix (or change) a word as the user types! For any area where industry specific words are used, think medical and legal fields, you can ensure that these words are spelled correctly. This can now be done with FileMaker 10 and the technique file associated to this video!
