Hello,

I figured I would ask the experts this question. I thought the scroll window function would be simple, but I have run into a problem. Example - Layout A is set in form view, Layout B is set up as a columnar list/report view. Layout B extends 6 pages with various test questions. I want a script designed to take me to a particular question on Layout B. I cannot get this to work. I do see a calculation option in the scroll window step, but cannot figure it out.

One other note, I have an existing script in place when layout B is opened, so the current record is in view, the script is set as the following, "show all records, omit record, show omitted only."

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't used the Scroll window function, but my first thought was to create a field "nav" with repetitions. Place this field at your "anchor" points on the layout each with a different repetition of the field. Each anchor is a button that Go to Field nav[4] (for moving to the nav field of repetition 4).

bcooney,

Thank you for your quick response. I tried the above method and it did not work as expected. The script goes to the correct field repetition, but does not scroll the window to that field. The window stays in the home position.

I would have thought your suggestion would have worked for sure, unless I did something wrong.

Layout B is set up as a columnar list/report view. Layout B extends 6 pages with various test questions.

If your test questions were records, you could jump record to record down through Layout B, as Go To Record [ by calculation ] or even Go To Record [ next ] etc to move up and down. If your test questions are fields then you might have other problems besides navigation anyway. :wink2:

Laretta,

I would like to thank you for your help in the past, you helped with calculation questions I had some time ago.

Layout B extends to 6 pages, imbedded text questions are affixed on the left side of the layout and the answer fields are set up on the right side of each question.
