Don't Understand Why I Am Getting Error Msg

I have a Ship-To area on a form where a user selects a company name from a dialog list, clicks on an action button and the remaining address information is loaded for them. This works great but I get the error message “Incorrect Data Type For Operator Or @Function: Number Expected”. The user can click OK and continue.

All of the fields involved here are text fields and don’t understand why it would be looking for a numeric value.

Any suggestions ? - Thanks!

Example of action button code used:

@If(ShipTo1= “Taco Bell”;

@SetField(“ShipTo2”;“6600 East Millford Road”) &

@SetField(“ShipTo3”;“Dock #8”) &

@SetField(“ShipTo4”;“New York, NY 48090”);

ShipTo1= “McDonalds”;

@SetField(“ShipTo2”;“2700 Edgemont Lane”) &

@SetField(“ShipTo3”;“Elk City, TX 60007”) &

@SetField(“ShipTo4”;“”);

“”)

Maybe you have a default value for a field that is not text.

The fomula is missing something. It should be odd number of actions:

@If( condition1 ; action1 ; condition2 ; action2 ; else_action )

I don’t think you can use & for multiple action.

Try @do( action1 ; action2 ; )

You cant use “&” in an @If like that.You need to use @Do

@If(ShipTo1= “Taco Bell”;

@Do(@SetField(“ShipTo2”;“6600 East Millford Road”);

@SetField(“ShipTo3”;“Dock #8”);

@SetField(“ShipTo4”;“New York, NY 48090”)); ShipTo1= “McDonalds”;

@Do(@SetField(“ShipTo2”;“2700 Edgemont Lane”);

@SetField(“ShipTo3”;“Elk City, TX 60007”);

@SetField(“ShipTo4”;“”));

“”);

Thanks guys. The @Do was what I needed instead of the & symbols. It works great.
