Preview Mode going to first record

[RLP]

I believe this has been discussed here before. Why does Preview mode always go to the first record when the print driver is set to current record? I have tried to correct this using a script to omit the current record but I'm having trouble returning to the original record. Thanks.

It's fairly common practice to use a new window and isolate the record in the new window.

Get the ID of the current record; open a new window; perform a find for that ID; enter preview mode. Then close the window when you're done and you're exactly where you started.

Thanks Bruce, That works fine but now I have to worry about tuning off the Preview button in the View Menu. I was looking at the menu control from Dacon.

Why do that? You have Filemaker Advanced. Just use custom menus to control the Preview function.

You are right I could do that. I was just exploring my options. I already use their Mailit plugin and was looking at their menu control and tool bars.
