Switch to Related File

[didit]

This should be simple. When I open my Purchase Order Database it opens a related file Companies. How do I create a button on the Purchase Order Layout that will bring up the Companies layout, without having to go up to the Window Menu?

Create a script in the PO database which runs a script in the Companies database which takes you to the correct layout.

Are you attempting to select a company from which you are purchasing? Try using a pop up list in the company field which selects from the company file. Once the company is selcted, the remaining company information can be a look up base on the comoany name. There may not be a need to open the company file.

IN the related file, create a script that sets up the window as you want the *important* ends with the Refresh Window [bring to front] step.

In the master database, run this script in the related file externally.

It's the Refresh Window [] step tat does the magic.
