That was one of the upgrades :-p

Try clicking on Evo in the task bar. That has always been the "right" way to minimize it :-/

Win 7 works here, but I am not on the newest Evo version.

I removed the minimize from the Evo main menu because of a scary bug we found.. (don't try this on live data) if you call up a customer in ARA then minimize the menu, when you restore the menu you will be missing info from the Customer record.. Not all just some of the fields.. the restore is jumping into random parts of code.. I suspect the min/restore is popping the stack and causing code to run that was never called. So until TASPRO7 fixes this issue I have killed the minimize button on the menu.

I am running Win 7 and I see the Evo task on the taskbar an if I click that task it disappears. then if I click it again it reappears. This accomplishes what minimize does.

Allen what about my little request?

It is in there John, go to SU-A choose a grid, Say POHEADERS. There is a new button at the bottom of the screen "EXT. UDF" press this new button. This will bring up a hidden section on the screen and let you enter an External Program (any windows application) and then choose the fields you want to pass as parameters to that program.

Once this is assigned, a new button will appear on the standard POHEADERS lookups that will call your Application and pass the fields you specified for the record you are on at the time.

Hi Allen,

I see the little window and the button on the grid, unfortunately it gives me an error

Notepad
Cannot find the 78866 (PO Number)
RPISTE011.txt file (Vendor ID)
do you want to create a new file?

this little vb6 will pick up the parameters send by EVO
I just need to know how are you separating them. I assuming you are using an "space" between them but
no idea why I can not capture the second parameter

Dim strCommand As String
Dim aryParameters() As String
Dim intParam As Integer
Dim po As String
Dim ven As String

strCommand = Command()
aryParameters = Split(Trim(strCommand), " ")
For intParam = LBound(aryParameters) To UBound(aryParameters)
po = aryParameters(0)
ven = aryParameters(1)
Next

MsgBox po

Getting there!!!!
