Hi all,

I am having the following problem.

Have a number of files.

Lets say I open file A.

From there i go to file B.

No there i have a portal with records from file C. I have button in the portal that directs you to the child (= file C). (the script is something like :

Go to related record

perfom external script (this external script , enters browse mode and opens the right layout)

toggle window (hide)

No I want to hide file B, when leaving file B.

So far so good.

When I push the button in the portal row, file B, gets hidden and the file C appears BUT for one breave moment it shows file A !

Hope you can still follow, and hope someone knows an easy way to avoid this, cause I have this issue in a lot of layouts.

Thanks anyway,

Thierry

Is the external script located in File A?

If you are on a PC I recommend you avoid the Hide Window option -- it doesn't rally hide the window anyway. With Windows, I think FMP looks best when thry are maxinised. ufortunately, when ONE window is restored or minimised, it un-maximises the whole lot!

My strategy has been to keep all windows maximised (open them maximised) and use the Refresh Window [bring to front] script step to shuffle them forwards when required by the interface.
