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....

How about you show the script?

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]

Go to Layout [“Preapplication” (Contracts)]

Print Setup[restore; With dialog: off]

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

End if

Exit Script [Text Result:      ]

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.
