How to activate an open database?

[Ritche M]

How do i activate an open database? I have opened 5 databases and i want the fourth database to be the active/frontmost database. How do i make an applescript to make database 4 to be database 1. Calling the "open" command will take Filemaker some time to open the database even if it is already open, whereas, changing the active database might be faster.

Thanks in advance

Ritche:

I'm not sure I understand, but it seems that you've got a number of files opening, and the wrong one is frontmost. The command you're after is "Refresh Window (bring to front)". How you call it is another question. You could make a script on all your other databases which, on opening (in preferences->document), calls a script in your "database 4" which, in turn simply contains the command "Refresh Window (bring to front)". This should do it, unless I've missed the point entirely, which is possible.
