How do you program the buttons in a message to do what the text says?

I have a TimeClock file which keeps track of the amount of time I'm working on my current project. I have a script in this file which inserts my quitting time.

In the file I'm actually working on (SES DB) I have a script which triggers the script in TimeClock and then quits FMP. This works fine.

Here's where my question comes in...there are times when I would like to stop working on the current project but keep FMP open.

In the SES DB script I Show Message, ("Do you want to quit FileMaker Pro?") but I don't know how to program the buttons so that the program does or doesn't quit.

Thanks for your help,

Susan

Hi Susan

In your script below the show message add the following

If (status(current message choice)=1

exit application (is closing FM)

else

close program (or whatever function you would like to preform)

Thank you Lionel! I knew there had to be an If statement, but I didn't know how to tell it what to do if...

Thanks a lot!

Susan

Thank you. I've just used it also.

All the best.
