Hiding the Active window?

[stefwef]

Good afternoon!

I have a database with about 10 related tables, and have created a script that works beautifully but requires the open and close of a related window - causing the subtle but obvious flash of a little window (I've made it as small as I can!).

I've tried using Adjust(hide) but the script no longer works properly when I do and my main (non-active) window starts going places it's not supposed to. I'd be most grateful for any help on how to properly Adjust(hide) or how to "hide" windows that are active with running script".

Thanks!

Why are you using the new window? You don't need it to create, edit, or delete records; there are same-window techniques to do that.

I stumbled on this post about a month later. If you're still looking for ideas, try doing what programmers do in other languages -- draw the new window offscreen. I do it all the time for a wide variety of reasons. Attached is a screenshot of a Printing script that needs a formatted layout that I'd rather the end user not see. He just sees a quick progress bar and the visible layout never changes.
