How do I make a pulldown field a button as well... or more specifically, how do I make the selection of an item in a pulldown start a script??

I think the best way is to use the ScriptScheduler plug-in. This is doable with FileMaker alone, but it isn't easy. It involves running a script when the user clicks on the menu, having the script go to the menu for the user, and looping until the value in the menu is different from the value it started with. Then you can check the value and run a script depending on what value the user chose.
