GTRR script vs GTRR single step - go to related

[Benet]

Im a newbee and its confusing as to why when i use GTRR single step, to go to a related line item record in a different DB it works fine. Going to the related record in the correct layout(as chosen). However if i try to do the exact same thing with perform script and write a GTRR script with the exact same parameters the script, when viewed with the script debugger seems to do nothing at the GTRR step ?

My reason is simply to add a resize command in the script.

Am i missing something ?

Thanks

Ben

You might have a context issue. You might not have a related child record.

Here's a demo (very quick and dirty). Notice the method I'm using in the Relationship Graph. It is called Anchor-Buoy, and as your system grows, you may wish to adopt this methodology to help you keep track of "where" you are in the relationship graph.

There's a white paper on the FMI site that includes an explanation of many Relationship Graph methodologies.

btw, I usually create a subscript "Window Prep" that I call all the time in my navigation scripts. It hides the status bar and locks it, and resizes the window to fit.

BTW: the term "DB" can mean anything. It's better to say "file" when you mean a separate file.
