Insert an object using the script step...

[chiefkays]

I'm trying to make the linking of files into container fields as user-friendly as possible, so I'm making an "Add Attachment" button and script. The problem is that I can't seem to get the Insert Object script step to prompt the user to enter the filename. It wants the filename entered into the script in advance. Does anyone know a way to get the script to open up the Insert Object dialog box for the user?

[chiefkays]

The types of files vary. Powerpoint presentations, Word documents, JPEG images, etc.

Hey Chiefkays!

sorry it has been a while since i checked up on this post...take a look at:

for some ideas...

or simply why not use Right-click -->insert Object...does it have to be scripted...anyhow, look arround that file and see if it helps

Take care!
