Templates: Testing for other populated templates
1999-03-29 -- Lee White
 
Newsgroups: TopSpeed.Topic.Templates Editors note: Please note that some lines may wrap in the template code. Craig, #RESTRICT #FOR(%ActiveTemplate) #IF(UPPER(%ActiveTemplate) = 'RPM_STANDARD_RPT(LODESTAR_RPM)') #ACCEPT #BREAK #ENDIF #ENDFOR #ENDRESTRICT ...or... #ATSTART #DECLARE(%RPMExt) #SET(%RPMExt,%FALSE) #FOR(%ActiveTemplate) #IF(UPPER(%ActiveTemplate) = 'RPM_STANDARD_RPT(LODESTAR_RPM)') #SET(%RPMExt,%TRUE) #BREAK #ENDIF #ENDFOR #ENDAT Of course you'll probably want to replace some text... 'RPM_STANDARD_RPT(LODESTAR_RPM)' ...so you can find YOUR templates!! With #RESTRICT your template will only be listed as available when the condition is true so you don't even have to worry about it. -- Lee White Team TopSpeed Lodestar Software = http://www.CWaddons.com Craig E Ransom wrote in message news:VA.0000068a.0030c8a4@dataferret.compuserve.com... > Hi All! > > I have a situation where I need to check for the presence of TWO other > remplates because I have to use their features.
