Hi,

Trying to use 7's built-in custom message script step to get two values into a pair of global fields... strangely, it's not storing them. I'm definitely in browse mode, but the fields stubornly refuse to accept data. Any ideas? Is this a known problem?

The 'X' has been removed from the Custom Dialog box - on Windows XP anyway.

I find it ironic that the leftmost button when defining script-step is actually the default - even FM's own dialog boxes display the button choices to their own dialogs in this manner.
