Navigation buttons between related files

[scottb]

I have two database files: authors and quotes. They are related on authorID.

In the quotes file I have created a button that takes me to the author's file and displays additional information on the author of that quote.

Now I want to create another button in the author's file that takes me back to the quote I was originally viewing in the quotes file.

How do I script the button to get me back? Do I have to set up another relationship?

Thanks

Scott

Hi Scott,

If I'm understanding your question right, and I think I am.

The answers are Yes and No. Yes - a New button to take you back (Open File script step) and No - a new relationship is Not necessary.

Sometimes all you need is a Toggle Window [Hide].

Another possibility (there are many!) is to not go to the Authors file in the first place. Instead, go to a layout in your quotes file where you display the related fields from the Authors file.
