Im hav'in a blonde day

[Yazoo]

Can anyone help - This is what i am trying to do without any success what so ever. ( I have read your help file but suffering from short term memory failure.

Using a hotspot my action on click opens a dialog box stating that this will install a program to your hdd. ( thats the easy part)

Pop up apears with Yes / No Answer. (this is where im havin trouble)

variable set to record answer to Defualt (%result%)

If yes is clicked i would like program to install and if no program to exit.

This is where my blond day starts.............

Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding how to do this as im failing to grasp this easy concept.

Thanks guys for your time spent helping me (once you stopped laughing First!!!) Cheers,

Jon

Re: Im hav'in a blonde day

Here is the psudo code for this, I would make you an example but I do not have AMS4.0 on the computer that I am working on (university)

if (%result%=YES)
File.Execute(path to file.....)
else
Application.Exit

Note: that you could also have an action for 'CANCEL' if you want, it would only require another IF statement, ie if(%result%=CANCEL)

I think that this is all you would have to do.

Re: Im hav'in a blonde day

Here is some code I use on a button to check for Acrobat. It opens a pdf if they have it installed and if they don't it offers to install it for them. The other thing it does is if acrobat is found it checks the version and offers to update the file if it is below 5.0.0.0. Just copy the actions list below and paste it into the actions list for your button to see what it does.
