New to the scripting process in Filemaker, so please forgive stupid questions.

I've placed a button on my data-entry layout that allows a user to print an invoice. The invoice is laid out differently than the data-entry layout.

My script switches to the invoice layout, prints the selected record, then switches back to the data-entry layout. Is there a way to do this transparently in the background, so the user doesn't have to sit and watch the program switch between layouts?

Thanks in advance!

Try the Freeze Window script step.

Thanks for the suggestion. Doesn't seem to have worked, though. I placed the "Freeze Window" command first, but the layout still switches.

Any other thoughts? :

Can you post your entire print script (or a screenshot of it)?

Sure, it looks like this:

- Freeze Window

- Go To Layout ["Printable Invoice" (Invoice)]

- Print [Restore; No dialogue]

- Go To Layout ["Order Entry" (Invoice)]

Thanks!

Are you positive the button you are using performs the script with the Freeze Window step? I have had scripts not run correctly before only to find I had copied a button but forgot to specify the new script.
