    Replace the Sage button with your own (putting it on top of the Sage button), run your script, then invoke the Sage button when done.

    Yes, correcting for whatever the Sage button is called on the panel.

    Thanks,
    My script needs to call another script (both on server).  Do you know the syntax for that?

    What kind of "other script"?  BOI?

    No, just another customizer script on server.

    Set your second script up as a button, running on the server, and invoke it.  If you want to hide the button, there are examples of how to do that (something like show, invoke, hide...) in a few places.
    Or set up a BOI event on something (checkbox post validate) and update that field in your first script to trigger the second script.

    Kevin,
    ?????? I want one button to invoke 2 scripts one-after-the other.?? I don't know that syntax to invoke a script from within another script
    (other than Alnor's client-script example)
    Again, both scripts operate on the server.

    I need to invoke the 2nd script at the beginning of the 1st script.?? Would it automatically wait or does that require a WAIT clause to wait for that before proceeding.


    Thanks,
    Lee

    Why not combine the two scripts into one?  Button scripts can have subroutines, so set up the second script as being something you call inline... regular VBScript stuff.

    Call ButtonScript()
    ...

    ...

    Sub ButtonScript()

    ' script code… now possibly including an "exit sub" command

    End sub ' ButtonScript

    Ok I see, just use the oScript.InvokeButton(BT_Button) to invoke the 2nd script.

    Thanks

    Yes, but I don't know whether the first script will "wait" until the second script is done before continuing execution.  Be sure to test.

    Seems like consecutive commands would WAIT for previous step to complete.
    Will test.

    Both scripts work individually, but invoking them consecutively in another script causes problems in the sales order and added paya charges.
    The first script is long, writes to the order line file.  The 2nd script prints the order.  Both scripts on server.
    Seems like some kind of WAIT clause after invoking the first script might solve this.  Anyone know of a scripting clause for WAITING.
    The script is simply:
    retVal = oScript.InvokeButton("BT_Link6") ' which gets order line UDF's from another system and writes to order.
    retVal = oScript.InvokeButton("BT_Print")
