I would like to have a button which navigates to a layout in an unrelated file. Is this possible? Is there a subscript or series of subscripts that will do the job?

Thanks for the help.

In FMP5 you can perform an external script within another script. This external script could be in your other file that then has the goto layout command in it. I don't know if this feature is in previous versions.

Diane, try this: Under "Script" (I'm working in FMPro 4.0v3)

EnterBrowseMode[]

Perform Script [External] (and you designate the FMP db you desire.)

In that (external) database write a script which starts:

EnterBrowseMode[] or EnterFindMode[] (depending on the task you desire to perform) then

GoToLayout [] (and designate the layout you desire)

Then instruct other actions on a particular record or a group of records.

Then create the button to operate the script from the db from which you desire to navigate

Hope you find this useful

Peace
