Running Script 'refreshes' layout; changing active tab

[thecowis40]

Hi all,

Name's Adam, and am working on FMP 10 Adv to be implimented on FMP 10. Am building a database for student management for 4th year schooling.

I have setup a layout for students that uses the tab interface. I have a script built into it.

Problem - When I run the script (via a script trigger) it works fine, and pops up a new window as a part. The problem is, when the user closes the window, of their own will, the active window returns to the student interface (with the tabs) and seems to refresh the window as it becomes active (particularly when it is clicked). This wouldn't be a problem if it were a single layout, but as it is a tab interface, refreshing the layout defaults to the main tab of the layout, which is not the one that was left when the script was executed.

Essentially the script is run to update information for a portal, and the effect is lost if the layout defaults to the default tab after editing.

Would love to know what I have done to stuff this up! Let me know if I have left any details out.

Am a first timer to FMP, and am enjoying it as a change to MS Access. Still learning!!

Appreciate any help!
