go to layout in different file

How do you script "go to layout" in a different file?

Thanks in advance

hello Wireshop,

One of the idea is I would duplicate the layout on my Current File and link the "different file" to the current file (with relationship) and you can browse the records on the Duplicate Layout on the current file. Do you get the idea?

... another idea is to place an occurrence of your "different file" in your Current File's Table of Relationship and to relate it with "X" operator.

Than the scrpt step is:

Go to Related Record [ From table: "different file" ; External ; Using layout: "different file's layout" ; New window ]

Another way is to

Create a File Reference to "Other File"

Menu >> Manage >> External Data Sources

Click New

Click Add File

find the file and click on it

click okay out of the menus.

Create the script "Go To Layout" in "Other File"

Next, create a Script in your Current File and use these two steps

Open File (Other file)

Perform Script "Go to Layout" , use the File Reference you created above.

HTH
