tab interface for the separation model

[The Big Bear]

Hi all

I use a faux tab interface in FM 6 with a script that uses the set field command to create a record into another file. I would like to switch to FM 8.5 tab interface to preform the same function. I need to be able to force the user to press a certian tab and run a script before the user can go to the first tab where the menu is position. Is there a way of doing this.

Putting related fields in the tab from the other file does not work well with conditions pop-up menus which I relied on heavily.

Thanks in advance for the help.

The Tab Controls do not natively allow scripts to be associated with tabs. Work-arounds include faux-tabs, but smetimes it's easier to use multiple layouts, just like in FMP 6 and earlier.
