Help! Menus Keep Switching By Themselves!

Featured Replies

Dear All - Please Help.

I have a file with four Custom Menu Sets. In the Custom Menus dialog, at the bottom, I have [standard Filemaker Menus] specified as the default for the file. On my layouts, I have [File Default] specified as the Menu Set. But Filemaker STILL keeps switching the menus when I move from one layout to another. Is there any way round this bug?

I am in FM Pro Advanced 11.0v1.

Many many thanks in advance,

W.

Check to see if you have any script triggers on the layout. Also I would look at some of your scripts to see if you are calling an Install Custom Menu script step somewhere.

I am in FM Pro Advanced 11.0v1.

And I would recommend running the updater to 11.0v3 if Windows and 11.0v4 if Mac. :^)

Hi John! Good to see you around! I have missed you! :yep:

Hi John, La Retta - Thanks for the quick responses. Really kind of you.

I checked for ScriptTriggers on the Layouts already - nowt there.

And when switching between layouts, I am not running a script, just a button with the Go to Layout step on it.

So I'm still baffled unfortunately!

can you post a zipped copy of the file. You can delete most of the data from it.

As LaRetta said, update FMP before anything else.

If there is still a problem then check the custom menu on each of the layouts.

OK. Thanks for your help one and all. Thanks to your suggestions I found the problem. There's a startup script that changes the *Default* menu set for the file...
