Making Any Contact the Applicant

Earlier today I had a customer request a way to auto-fill Contact File information into the Planning Screen. This led to a script that I posted on the User Script Blog that showed a way to pick any existing Contact as the Applicant for a permit record. I liked this idea so much that I incorporated the code into ZonePro. Now, from any of the permit databases, you can right-click on the Applicant Type drop-down box and get a Browse window showing all of the Contacts linked to the presiding Property record. Selecting a name fills in the Applicant Type, Name, Phone and Address fields. This alternate approach lets you easily fill in Applicant Types beyond the usual "Owner" and "Occupant" values.
