How to prevent opening a layout for the 2nd time (in a new window)?

[StPeter]

Hi,

With a button-click, i want to go to a specific layout.

If there isn't a window open with this layout, it should open the layout in a new window.

If this layout is already open, it should just bring the appropriate window to the front.

FYI: i'm using multiple files in my application

Sounds basic ... but can nevertheless not get my arms around this (

Anybody who knows how to do this?

Thx,

select window [Name: whatever]

If [Get LastError]

Perform subscript to open the window required (i.e. New Window and then halt script)

End if

That's almost there, efen, except that does not guarantee that the existing window is on the correct record. So, I'd add a capture of the current key into a $var, and if (get (lasterror) do a find in the existing window for that $var.

Thank you so much guys, that does the trick :B
