Order of script commands

[jfrick]

Using the script below displays the Delete Record dialog

before going to the Residence layout. Why? How can I go to the layout first then display the Delete Record dialog?

Set Field["gUserID", "Find User::UserID"]

Go to Related Record ["gUserID"]

Go to Layout ["Residence"]

Delete Record/Request[]

I found it. Refresh Window [bring to Front]

Try adding a "Refresh Window" command between "Go To Layout" and "Delete Record."

Hmmn...

Actually, you don't need an extra command to do this. Just sele3ct the Go To Layout [ ] script step, then enable the checkbox option (which will appear at the bottom of the ScriptMaker dialog) which is labelled 'Refresh Window'. You will then have the sequence:

Set Field["gUserID", "Find User::UserID"]

Go to Related Record ["gUserID"]

Go to Layout [Refresh, "Residence"]

Delete Record/Request[]

The inclusion of the Refresh parameter within the existing Go to Layout step will make all the difference.
