Yes there is. I'm certain that there are threads here on that very subject so try doing a search.

If you have FM7 Developer you can create a reusable custom function that will make it quite easy to do. Check out Brian Dunning's web site for a big list of custom functions free for the taking.

Multiple parameters are not difficult. When you specify the script to be run by the button, use & ¶ & between the variables. The ¶ is used by FileMaker as the delimiter between the parameters.

The script that is receiving the parameters will have to use Leftvalue, Middlevalue and Rightvalue functions to correctly interpret what is being passed.

There is a custom function thread about this in:

Specifically, what I find useful is the ParamByName function. I like naming my parameters, because in my advancing age, I find I forget whether parameter 1 or 3 was the one for field size (or color, or font, or ...?)...

HTH,

David
