opening a related database

[stanley]

I've got a script which should open a related database; the windows are positioned so that both databases are visible to the user. However, when the script ends, the second database gets hidden. How do I make sure both databases are visible?

Is the second database hidden by the first? Let us have a look at the script.

-bd

The Open[] script steps are not reliable for this. Instead, use the Go to related record script step, then call an external script in the related database -- the external script should end in the Refresh [bring to front] step.

Use Open[] to open databases, nothing else.

I'm sure I posted a message to the FAQs forum about this some months ago... take a look.

this is how the script ends. The database calling the script has just hidden itself, and then these two should open; they've got their own real estate on screen, but only the second appears.

open ["screener bottom"]

open ["program info"]

I'm assuming that the second hides the first. How do I prevent that?
