When going from one file (displayed on th desk top) to another file (hidden), end up with a displayed window and a hidden window for the same file. This causes the displayed file window to loose the hand pointer over buttons, and the show hidden list won't respond appropriately (ie. the duplicate window name is at the top and below are the other window names; when I click one of the names in the list, the item below is shown rather than the selected one).

Upon opening, all files have an opening script that make sure the file is on a blank layout (no access), the window tile is set to file name and then is hidden.

My script in fileA is: perform (external) script fileB and that script in fileB is

go to layoutX, enter browse mode, set window tile "client list".

I have tried saving window names in a global field (gLastWindowName) and preceded the script in fileB with select window (gLastWindowName), but i still get the original problem: duplicate windows, one hidden and one selected and loss of hand pointer.

Is there a unique FM7 method to nav from one file to another that is hidden?

Thanks.

Use the Select Window script step to call the hidden window *by its name* and then unhide it, change layout etc.

Usually the initial window name is the file name.
