Dianne Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Hi there I am trying to figure out how to have a layout where I can store data within multiple pages with buttons along the top which will take me to different pages within the same layout. Am I making sense? New to FM and finding the online help really useful but can't seem to find info on this. thanks in advance, Diane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stanley Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Diane: Welcome to the Forums. If I understand you right, you want something akin to a tab system (like what is used on Apple's website, for example.) It's not difficult to do. Those multiple "pages" are actually different layouts. Make your row of buttons, then, for each one, make a layout to correspond to that "page." Define the buttons in your first layout, to switch to the particular "page" layout. Once you've defined the buttons in one layout, you can copy the whole bunch of them together and then paste them into each of the other layouts. The t-square tool is very handy for this, to ensure that the buttons are in exactly the same location on each layout. Now you can switch seamlessly between the layouts. -Stanley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stick Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 The template examples in the filemaker folder show examples of this. A specific one is the inventory. On my system: filemaker 7/english extras/templates/business - people & assets/inventory.fp7 The blue tabs at the top right of the layout are what you need.
