Nobody likes a rug being yanked out from underneath them - to reference the popular phrase. The same thing applies to your interface and solution. When a user moves from one layout to another, they're typically not expecting to come back to something different than when they left.

The biggest issues with FileMaker retaining layout state are tabs and portals. In the past, I've covered how you can move from one record to another and maintain the selected portal row.

In this video, I present a simple technique for using the ever popular "back button" feature found in pretty much every web browser. The video shows how to not only include this feature, but also how you can return tabs to their previously selected state - and with very simple scripts.

If you've rarely found great uses for FileMaker's script triggers, then this video will provide you with some great information about using them.

For any of the functions referenced, you can find them here.
