Hi,

I'm trying to make a script that will take a user back to the layout that they previously had been on before arriving at the layout which they are currently using. Is there a way to do this? It seems that if a user's layout could be recorded in a global field, then returning them to this layout might not be too difficult. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is this possible at all?

Thanks,

Dan

You are not barking up a tree. Filemaker will allow you to return to any layout based on layout number that you can save in a global field:

SetField(gLast Layout #, Status(CurrentLayoutNumber))

script steps here

GoTo Layout(field, gLayout #)

For this last step, use goto based on a field which is at the bottom of the layout list.

The 'Go to lay-out" script step also offers the possibility to go to the 'original layout', the layout that was active before the current lay-out.

Thanks! That does the trick. Glad to know my tree wasn't barked up in vain.
