Scripts to open other fm files

[gowrann]

I have a Master menu FM file with buttons to link to other fm files. The script opens the 2nd fm file and closes the menu and has the same procedure to go back to the menu file.

However the script doesnt always work and open the other file.

What is the best way of linking a menu fm file to a number of different files and back.

Cheers

Assuming the script reads:

Open(OtherFile)

Close()

Is it possible that the other file is already open, but hidden? In which case, you must first close the other file, then reopen it.

If the script is more complex, the complexity is probably your problem.

That is exactly the script, however it does not always work.

Forget open and close, just call a script in the file you want to open (as an external script). Then hide the first database, or maximise/zoom the new database window to cover the first.

Thanks Vaughan.

The scripts are so far 100% reliable.
