Hi,

FileMaker 10 Mac. Status bar is locked closed. Custom menus are used.

I have a simple script which:

1. finds & sorts records

2. goes to pretty layout

3. opens staus area

4. enters preview mode

5. pauses

... ... ... ... ...

6. offers opportunity to print

7. closes & locks status area

8. returns to original layout & enters browse mode.

My problem is in FM 8.5 users can navigate through the pages of the report after step 4 using the 'book' to go forward and back.

In FM10 the 'book' is locked and the users cannon flip between pages of the report.

What is the best way to enable the users to be able to nbavigate the report in preview mode in both 8 and 10?

Thanks,

ft.

Surprised, but I see what you mean. If you add a step "Go to Record [First]" the problem goes away.

Frequently I like to let the user see the page count this way, which also solves the problem:

Enter Preview Mode

Go to Record [Last]

Go to Record [First]
