While i search the forums here for my answer i thought i'd ask the question (I suck at useing search tools for some reason).

I'd like to stop a running paused script. It comes down to me modify'n another solution that i did not write and the previous programmer didn't add in a return to menu button in this find algorithm. The algorithm sets a few globals, then goes to layout to collect the search criteria and does a pause/resume script step right after that is an if statment that checks to make sure both fields on the layout are full of something and does the find or informs the user that either or both fields where still empty.

I'm trying to figure out how to cancel this in the easiest and cleanest way possible. I'd like to just put a button with a exit script step on the layout that issues an exit script command and then does runs my go to reportmenu script but that doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks for the help guys!

Do exactly that. In the button definition, set the button option to Exit Script (or Halt Script) and have it perform your report script.

you know I tried it but not quite that simply (setting the current script to exit helped alot, i was trying to issue the exit script in my return to main menu.

It must be monday eh?
