Thank you, that worked.
Now, once again, another problem... I want it to also add the text of
fld "OpenFile" into the MouseUp command script. So, what I want it to do is
add this line of scripting into the MouseUp command...
ext_openfile "C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/ProgrammingV1.1/chat test.txt"
The "C:/WINDOWS/Desktop/ProgrammingV1.1/chat test.txt" is actually in a fld
when I create a New Button. So, what I want it to do is something like...
Add script "Ext_Openfile" & the text of fld "OpenFile" into btn text of fld
"NewBtn"
Would that work? Got any ideas?
