I could not get the tracking number from the grid in the Tracking number screen, so I created a script in the Invoice History Inquiry screen next to the existing Tracking number button that links to ship24. I hard coded the header sequence number to "000000" and the package number to "0001". A more elaborate script would check to see if the invoice has any tracking numbers and it could loop through the packages and give the user the option to display all the tracking numbers or just the first one, but I chose the faster, non-elegant approach to start with.

Ship24 has a lot of ads on it. I would like to find another multi-carrier shipping website.

This works.

Mas_Scr_Dbg = 0

'If oSession.CompanyCode = "ABC" Then

retval = oSession.AsObject(oSession.UI).Messagebox("""Tracking fired")

Div=""
Order=""
InvoiceNo=""
HedSeqNo=""
Package=""
TrackingNo=""

retVal = oBusObj.GetValue("InvoiceNo$",InvoiceNo)
retVal = oBusObj.GetValue("HeaderSeqNo$",HedSeqNo)
retVal = oBusObj.GetValue("PackageNo$",Package)
retVal = oBusObj.GetValue("TrackingID$",TrackingNo)
'msgbox "Invoice=" & Invoiceno & " SeqNo = " & HedSeqNo & " Package = " & package & " Tracking = " & TrackingNo

Link = "">www.ship24.com/tracking & TrackingNo & ""

'msgbox Link

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run(Link)

'End if 'Close if not ABC company

For testing this worked for me.  Sage city is reformatting the text so I listed the URL as source code below.

https://www.ship24.com/tracking?p=TrackingNumberHere

This URL format worked for me. The one in the code above did not.

Not having luck with script.  I made a button in Customizer, linked to VBS file, executed on client.  I get a MSScript Link Error box that says

OLE Error Number : 424

Description : Object required: 'oSession'

Language : VBScript

Script Line : 30

Script Column : 0

If anyone knows what I'm doing wrong I'd appreciate any feedback. Also I did this on the Sales Order & Quote History MAIN panel as thats where the previous tracking button  was that our customer service people used.

Scripts run from the client don't have access to business objects.  Passing values into such button scripts has to be done differently.

I'm getting the following error at the line CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run(Link) when running on the server.  The button is configured to Execute Script on Server.

OLE Error Number : -2147023741
Description :
Language : VBScript

Script Line : 52
Script Column : 0

Does anyone know why?

Thanks

You could just use google. You get an extra click when the page opens up but depending on who you ship with it will provide a link to the tracking.

Button script would look like this, depending on the panel the button is on

CreateObject("WScript.Shell").Run "https://www.google.com/search?q=" & ML_TRACKING

I did an "if then" statement to link to UPS or USPS based on the start of the tracking number and will change to google for the rest. Ship24 seems too spammy with lots of ads.
