I'd like to add multiple customized buttons. I have everything in place except for the script. Everything I try comes up with errors.
Can you help me out as to modifying the script to support multiple buttons?

Again when I start MES in customizing mode and choose the customized form the button shows and it works as designed. My problem is that I cant seem to get the customized form to show the button when in normal MES mode. I know the config file is calling the customized form because if I change the <MESCustomMenuID value="" /> parameter in the config file to something random is tells me the form isn't valid (or something like that), however when I start MES with the 'customized' form the button is blank.
