You could trigger a folder level script function from a button on a form. But the folder level script would need to be installed on the system where the document is operating.

The form is being used across many systems so adding a folder level script would not be viable in this instance.

Just to clarify, by "Action" you're talking about the batch processes you can create using the Action Wizard, or about something else?
