Clicking buttons in an inactive window

[jw21collier]

I've noticed a quirk between the Windows and Mac OS X versions of Filemaker Pro 7. I have a database where I have three different windows open at the same time to show three different layouts of the same database. On a Windows version of FM I can click a button and have it work right away even if the button is not in the active window. On the Mac, clicking a button in an inactive window does nothing except make the window the button is in active. I then I have to click the button again to make it work. I like the way the Windows version does it. Is it possible to make the Mac version do it the same way?

No.
