Opening separate layouts in same window

[ctls]

Hi,

I have a main layout with different buttons say- General Info, and Address. I have two other layouts with the "general Info" and "address" respectively. When I click on either button on the main layout, I do not want to skip to the appropriate layout. This is what I am currently doing. I want the appropriate layout to open in the main layout itself, say at the bottom half part. How do I do this?

Thank you.

You don't.

Create a layout that gives the user the effect that you are seeking. This new layout will look just like your "Main" layout but also has the "Address" records appear in the lower left part of the layout. You can use a portal to show the records from the "Address" table and design the layout to make the "Address" portion look like a window within a window.

When the user click the "Address" button on the "Main" layout, it will appear to them that the "Address" window opened up inside of the "Main" window while they actually simply switched to the new layout.

David...............I like the way you think.

Very often, the "simple" way to do things is really the best.

Nice job, nice job.
