Trying to create a floating menu

Hello everyone,

What I am trying to do is create a floating message board. I already have a tiny main menu that people can use for our insurance database. If you will see in the attachment you will get an idea of the type of menu I am talking about. What I would really like to do is keep this small window in the forefront of all the other windows in FM only.

What do you think? Possible?

Thank you,

Jason

P.S. I am a very big newbie and using FM 8

FileMaker windows cannot be set to float, like the toolbars.

Either build your menu in a separate window where the position of the window is along side your main window, or build it into the layouts of the main window.
