jwallace Posted December 5, 2000 Posted December 5, 2000 My solution opens several (6) related files on opening. Right now it simply goes to the Layout that has data from all the related files. As it opens, I have to wait several seconds for the screen to draw fully because it has to open the related file and then add that part to the Layout. Is there a faster way to get the related files open and consequently get the screen to draw faster?
Anatoli Posted December 5, 2000 Posted December 5, 2000 Is that FM Pro 5? That is opening files 5 times faster than v.4. Mac or PC? IMHO - open related first and then show layout.
jwallace Posted December 5, 2000 Author Posted December 5, 2000 Both Mac and Windows. It is FMP 5. I just need to know the quickest way to get the files open. Use a script? just a layout? Any ideas?
Chuck Posted December 5, 2000 Posted December 5, 2000 I don't know of any way to speed up the process. What I do to open related files is create a script that runs when the main menu file opens and open all of the files then while the user is presented with a splash screen. If there are more than 10 files to open, I might also work in a progress bar to indicate the completed progress of the open process. Chuck
