Hi all,

I am building an inventory database and I need to know how to set a "no
stock" pop up message to appear if a stock item is entered in a
dispatch/sales portal if the stock level is zero.

Also a "low stock" message would be handy if the stock level falls below a
pre determined level.

Would I need a script? Can someone point me in the right direction please.

Yes, you would script.

The DISPLAY CUSTOM DIALOG script step is what you're looking for, followed
by the Status [CurrentMessageChoice] (FM6) or Get [LastMessageChoice]
(FM7) function for If-Then control of what happens when a button in the
dialog is clicked.

You can avoid having to manually execute the script:

If you're in FM7, take a look at "EventScript", a free plug-in from
http://www.softs4humans.com/, to trigger the script upon change to a
specified field.

In FM6,"Events" from http://www.wmotion.com is $89 (single user) to do
roughly the same thing.

Hey, thanks Matt

Will look into that now.
