Anyone found answer to "freezing" buttons at top of layout?

[Rob Werning]

I've looked through previous posts, found one that addresses this question but no good answer. I have some horizontal buttons across the top of my layouts that I would like to "freeze" in position as the user scrolls up and down (multi-page layouts). Don't want switch from Form view to List view. I only want the user viewing a single record at a time... has anyone else found a "work-around" to accomplish this? Thanks!

Not a completely satisfactory solution, but you could use 2 windows with buttons in the upper one.

that I would like to "freeze" in position as the user scrolls up and down (multi-page layouts).

I never allow scroll in form view of FM - all of my form layouts are only as large as the screen. If I have a DOWN arrow, it actually changes layouts (which also has the same button set at the top) or I use a tab panel to hold various portions of the record. No, it's not the answer you want but, Rob, scrolling in form view can be dangerous. Unless the record identifier (Customer name for instance), appears in both top and bottom sections, Users can forget which record they are on - oh, believe me, it happens. And since you must put the basic information and buttons both top and bottom, why not simply use another layout and switch them without them realizing it or use a tab panel where the basic info and buttons always remains in view above the tab panel?

I agree it would be a handy feature; the ability to freeze the top portion of a form layout (such as Excel allows). Or even the ability to split the layouts into multiple layouts; even with portal down the left and the rest of the layout as list view. It'd be cool!
