a rather easy script

[Maureen Sellier]

Can somebody please help me with a (presumely) easy script:

1) Open another (second) database OR IF ALREADY OPENED, bring to front

2) switch to a certain layout in the second database instead of the last viewed...

Thanks

Maureen

Maureen:

Create a script in the second database:

Go To Layout [the layout you're after]

Refresh Window [bring to front]

Create a script in the first database with the single line: "Perform Script", and point it at your second database, telling it to run the script you've just written.

Hello Maureen,

Here's what you do:

1. Create a script in the target file that has only one step; Goto Layout.

2. Create a script in the starting file that has only one step; Perform Script [sub-scripts: External: "ScriptName"]

If I understand your problem correctly, that should do it.

Good luck,

[Ted S]

Cool, we've got agreement!

PS. Maureen, be ready to be spanked by Lee for making a double post.

Hi Maureen, and welcome to the Forum.

Please [color:"red"]STOP posting your same question all over the Forum.

I deleted your double and triple post earlier, and sent you a [color:"purple"]Private Message regarding that, only to discover that you posted your question as a response to one of Vaughan's Sample file submissions. I have [color:"red"]Deleted that one also.

Way to crack the whip, Lee! I surely hope I never deserve a spanking.

One day Lee is going to run up against someone who LIKES to get spanked - then he won't know how to act! ;~)
