I want to send a mail when a certain radio button is checked - but I
don't know how to assign a script and make filemaker do what I want.

Is there are a tutorial out there anywhere? Thanks

In Layout mode

Right click the button that you want to attach the script to
then choose "Specify Button"

Choose your "Perform script" and choose your "send mail script" from the
listin the options section of the "specify Button" window

Done

What do you want to do exactly ? Send an e-mail as soon as you check the
radio button or run a check on all records which have the radio button
checked and send an e-mail to all ? In the first case, follow Bebop's
suggestion. In the latter, you will have to make a script that performs a
Find (radio button=checked), loops through the found set, sending an e-mail
to each record. Could you provide a little more info on what you want to do
?

If you turn a radio button into an "action" button you won't be able to
change its contents. Although you could add a "SetField [radio
button,"checked"]" to the beginning of the send mail script.
