Hi,
Are there any future plans to make buttons etc active so that they can trigger an action?
Such as running a .bas file done in BasicMaker?

This already works. Add a user-defined button to a toolbar or ribbon tab and assign it to execute "BasicMaker.exe /s scriptname.bas"

Hi martin,
Just as a follow up, now finding some of the answers I could not find in an 'old' .pdf.
Struggling now to work out how to action a button to open and read a cell, then to write back another value.
Keeps me off the streets ha ha.

Any update on how to do this?
I can't seem to figure out how to attach a script to a form button in PlanMaker.

Hi Jcrey,
Sorry, but I got distracted on to a couple of other projects. So as yet I have no information. If I get any I'll put it here.
I'm just about to put another similar question on the group.

Click on ribbon command File | Customize dropdown | Customize ribbon > in Quicksearch type "User", you will find several User-defined buttons, click on any one > Click ">>" to add button on ribbon > Click on Edit below > Update desired description > In command line type "BasicMaker.exe /s scriptnamewithfullpath.bas" where scriptnamewithfullpath is script file's full path and name > Press close.
You will find this new button on your ribbon clicking which will execute the script file for you.
Thanks

Supertech
Thanks for that
Should I be able to write a piece of BAS code that will insert a time and a date into the workbook. AND also open a workbook specified by the cell?

Yes, you can build a BasicMaker script that can do several things for you just by a single click. Please refer to the BasicMaker manual for detailed instructions.
Thanks
