Overdue timer script

Hello all,

I really need help in writing a script in dummy terms please, i believe it will need to be a Install On Timer Script and i have no idea how to do this.

e.g. Vessel logs on at 10:00Hrs and states he will return back home at 16:00Hrs, I need a reminder to be given just after 16:00Hrs and be taken to that entry in our radio log for us to follow up on his where-abouts.

The field that the script will need to be linked to is the ETR field (estimated time of return) i think this will have to be a global field as well is that wright?

Am using FMP 11 Advanced on Win XP service pk3 PC.

Regards

Install OnTimer Script

If Return time less than current time set overdue field to *

Overdue field is formatted to big red text

This would require a timestamp not a time field, or yesterday's 4:00 would trigger today's 4:01
