Custom Menu to create new invoice

Featured Replies

Need to create a custom menu script. So I don't accidentially create a new invoice.

For example if I want to create a new invoice i would like a box to come up and say something like:

"create new invoice"

[Yes] [No]

if I click yes then creates a new record, if I choose no than it ends the script. Seems pretty simple just need a little help, Thanks everyone, Jay.

Just need a little assistance here.

You need to attach a script to the 'New Record' menu item on the 'Records' menu.

Then you will need to enable your custom menu. One way you can do this is to make it the default for the file. You will see this option in the bottom of the 'Define Custom Menus' window.

You will need FileMaker Advanced for this. Search the help file if you are still having trouble.

The script would look like

Show Custom Dialog [ Title: "New Record"; Message: "Create A new Record"; Buttons: “Yes”, “No” ]

If [ Get ( LastMessageChoice ) =1 ]

New Record/Request

End If
