Changing button text from scripts

[laurenals]

Is there any what to change the text on a button from within a script?

My scenario is this. I have a record that I mark for deletion by clicking a delete button. I would like to change the text on the button to say "Undelete" once it has be marked for deletion. The purge of all items marked for deletion takes place on a daily basis. That way if something is accidentally deleted, it can be saved.

Any thoughts?

Thanks a bunch!

Create a text field that auto-enters "Delete". Attach a script to it (thus making it a button) that has a step to change "Delete" to "Undelete" (and maybe back when clicked again).

You can put a field on top of the button. The field can be a calc field whose contents is detrmined by the status you chose (i.e. data in a field). Make sure you turn of the 'enter into field' option on field options!

Put this on top of the button, the user clicks on the button (with no caption, but a text field on it) and no one will be the wiser!
