Printing with Button Bar

[Koonce]

I have a Button Bar and I have different buttons.... in One Button I need to Print but it is a choice of 3 different things... So I started a script with a custom dialog and I can get the first one to print or the last but I cannot get the script so that I can click on the selection and just that one print it trys to print all three of just the one....

Allow User Abort off

Show Custom Dialog [“Lions Print Letters; “Select which letter to print?”]

If[Get(LastMessageChoice )=1

New Window[Style: Document; Name: “Pre Application Letter”; Top:100;Left:200]

Go to Layout [“Preapplication” (Contracts)]

Print Setup[restore; With dialog: off]

Print [Restore: Hp Color Laserjet 4700:with dialog: Off]

End if

If[Get(LastMessageChoice )=2

New Window[Style: Document; Name: “Pre Application Letter”; Top:100;Left:200]

Go to Layout [“Preapplication” (Contracts)]

Print Setup[restore; With dialog: off]

Print [Restore: Hp Color Laserjet 4700:with dialog: Off]

End if

If[Get(LastMessageChoice )=3

New Window[Style: Document; Name: “Pre Application Letter”; Top:100;Left:200]

For starters, instead of 3 If/End If's, you should use If and 2 Else If's, 1 End If.

But that doesn't matter as all 3 message choices point to the same layout.

You can also use the New Window script step and select a layout, eliminating Go to Layout.

I also don't know what the 3 message choices represent.
