Applescript, numbers, and automatisation tasks, a nightmare for me...

Question

Hello,
Again a new question, and thank you again for your help. I found a answer for a part of the problem, but not for all, with applescript.
I would like to create this automatisation :
Every month, I have a despense wich is coming the 1st.
-I would like numbers to open my "bank" document, and enter automatically the password (there is one, and I want to enter it automatically just for this script)
-select the good table, create a row at the end of the table/list,
-and in this new row, to enter the date of the day (so the 01/09/09 or 01/10/09 etc),
-the name of the transaction (always the same) in the next cell,
- the nature of it in the next cell (idem),
- the amount,
- at the end there is a case to valid or not the transaction, I don't want to valid it.
at the end, but it's not the most important, is it possible to create this new row including formulas, or without erasing precedent formulas ? (All the precedent rows contains formulas, so the new automatic row will copy them I think, but enter text automaticly will erase formulas no ?)
I succeed for a part of this, but I don't find how to select the last row, the empty one just created. I can't refer to a number of row because there are always new others operations I insert myself. And I don't succeed to force the last case to be "not valid"
After that, I prepare an automator/ical app, and automate the script for all the 1st of each months.
I didn't find the solution to create in the 1st cell, the date with the curent day or the specific day of the transaction.
Thank you very much again, if you have the solution, or if you have a better solution than use automatoricalapplescript

I have a similar thing on one of my forms, the fields are "Date Submitted" and "Date Needed" and I need to validate that the Date Submitted date occurs before the Date Needed date.  If it does not, it prompts a response dialog box and asks for a new DateNeed to be entered.  Here is the code I used: (I'm by no means an expert at code)<br /><br />//This just sets the values of the date/time fields to variables, and then checks for a null value.  If null, it changes the rawValue to an empty string for inserting into database.  If not null, it leaves the existing rawValue unchanged. Unless you're writing info to a database, you probably wouldn't need this.<br /> <br />var DateSubmit = form1.MainForm.Info.DateSubmitted.rawValue == null ? "" : form1.MainForm.Info.DateSubmitted.rawValue;<br />var DateNeed = form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.rawValue == null ? "" : form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.rawValue;<br /><br />if (DateNeed<DateSubmit)<br /><br />{<br /><br />     var dateResponse = xfa.host.response("The Date Needed date must be later than the Date Submitted date.\nPlease enter new date below: (MM/DD/YYYY format)", "Date Needed Error");<br /><br />     var myDate = new Date(dateResponse);<br /><br />     var myFormattedDate = util.printd("dd mmm yyyy", myDate);<br /><br />     form1.MainForm.Info.DateNeeded.formattedValue = myFormattedDate;<br /><br />}<br /><br />BTW, I have this as code on a submit button that does all of my validations and then writes a new record to a database.  But I think you could also do this on the exit event of the second date/time field if needed. The variable declarations at the top would be slightly different.<br /><br />Lynne
