Layout view change with script triggers, help appreciated

[lolmstead]

Hello all,

I am making a contacts database that is used by several different departments in my company, Here is that I'm trying to do:

The database has categories for contacts. Come categories need addition contact information entered; for example 'Donors'

When the checkbox for 'Donors' is clicked, a script trigger navigates to a layout that includes a tab 'More Donor Information' highlighted in yellow. When the checkbox is modified (turned off) the navigation returns to the record detail without the 'more donor information' tab.

This works fine. However, if the user checks the 'donor' box and moves onto the next record, it stays on the 'more donor information' layout, even if the next record is not a donor.

What I need is: when a certain category is selected, a tab appears. when not, it dissapears.

any ideas would be very much appreciated!

I think you should use one layout and then use a technique to hide the donor information section via a tab. You can use script triggers for this or look up +Visibility to see the orig technique.
