Layout switching on record creation..HELP!

[agutleben]

I have a client running FMP8v2 on two Mac OSX 10.3.9 computers over a network. The issue is that when I am on a layout and create a new record (both scripted and using drop-down method), my layout switches. I cannot figure out why. My script (I built to test) forces the layout I want to stay on, but does not seem to do anything. I am logged in as Admin with Full Access so there should be no permission issues. Thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Do you have some custom script (and a custom menu) creating the new record, or is it using the built-in Filemaker command? In layout mode, go to layout setup, and check that the default Filemaker menu set is chosen.

No custom menus have been setup. My layout is also tied to the TO that I need to create the record in.

has the file ever been crashed or recovered? Can you post it here?

If you make a new layout based on the same TO, does the problem occur? If so, does it happen with any other TOs or base tables?

Thanks to everyone that responded. I was able to find the issue by using the Script Debugger. For some reason, I had a global calc field (tied to an auto-running script using FMExample) evaluate when I created a new record. I had pre-populated data sitting in the global which I removed. Once this was done, everything worked perfectly. So I have edited the script that populated that global to ensure it is empty unless I am on that layout and perfection.. or at least a progression torward it.

Thanks again!
