Does anyone know how to lock or freeze a tap so it does not revert back to the default when you leave a page and come back to it.

I have 3 tabs each is a different company, what I would like to do is have a pull down box the is the Final selector if you will for the page. Once this has been made it freezes out or locks the other tabs so it does not switch back to them when you leave.

Thank you

Try with global field containing the name of your prefered tab. In script, when you change layout, you can set ( last visited tab ) or get tab name and use GoToObject ( FM 8.5 ) to go to that tab.

Does goto field work with 8.0? Also, how do you make this an auto script so when you go to the page it knows to bring up the correct tab?

Thank you for your help.

Hoiw does it work -- I can not unlock this?

Without looking at the file, I beleive that the problem is the file permissions. Try going to the OS level, and get infor on the file. Most like it is a Read only that you should change to Read and Write.

I had no problems opening the file and it wasn't locked, ie, I can go to Define Fields etc.
