I used to use a very easy technique in FMP 5, 6 etc to move between databases and for some reason it does nto seem to be working in 7.

I would write a short script in target DB that said:

Goto layout "xyz"

and call it move to xyz.

then in Original DB I write a shorts script that says:

perform external script XYZ

and all worked just fine and dandy.

Now in FMP 7, this no longer works. I am just stubbornly stuck and not able to move into the other DB. Can anyone please help? this is freaking me out. I am getting so tired of having to relearn everything that used to work do well for me in the past.

All I want to do is move from one DB to another using a script. I don't understand why this is not working!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Be sure to add a file reference in the File References dialog to each file you will be relating to or calling external scripts in.

I thought I had made a reference, but this still does not work for me. I think there is something that has fundamentally changed in FM7 that is confusing me.

Can anyone post a simple script that would show how to move between 2 databases with a script.

Thank you,

Steve

Add a Select Window [Current Window] step in the second db's script.
