okay - i've figured out how to make a check box into a button that
performs a SEND MAIL script.

but - i can't figure out how to add a step to the script that checks
the box! now that it's a button it doesn't check when i click on it...

someone suggested what the script should read like but as i can't
write it in text and import it i need help setting it up through
scrptmaker.

THANKS!

You need to add a Set Field step to your script to set the checkbox. It
depends what the value is in your value list, but most people usually
use a value of '1'. If this is the case, you would add to your script:
Set Field[CheckboxField, 1]

Hi,

as I suggested in my original reply, add a "Set Field [radio
button,"checked"]" to the beginning of your "Send mail script". I normally
use a value list for radio buttons with only one entry, which is "1". In
that case your script would look like :

Set Field["radio button","1"]
rest of script

Replace "1" with whatever you're using as a checked value.

Regards,

Peter

Firstly, I suggest you read up on using Scriptmaker and calculations in
general. That being said, simply type "1" in the calculation window (without
the "")
