Thanks matty, I know it might be a lot to ask, but I think I really want to make a go of this script and turn it into something very user friendly.

I'm trying to pick up bits of code as I'm going along and working from other scripts to figure out exactly how to make stuff work.

What i'd like help with at first is how to get a simple pop-up box to come up when selected via the menu (i've already put the menu together) so that it comes up asking for the e-mail address of the specific contact and then gives a dropdown box asking what status you want to change to when they come online and then for them to press "okay" and the information get added into the script.

the next stage will be to add a "temporarily disable" feature which i'm gonna search around and see what i can find on that, but i may well need your help

(btw, ur getting pretty much all the credit for this, lol.....i'm just kinda putting it together and trying to learn)
