Script in Portal Loose Scroll Position

[no1tmorrow]

I have a portal that on tabbing to the next field I have a script trigger that jumps to another layout to snag some values to auto fill some additional fields in the portal. The problem is as the scripts finishes and returns to the original layout the original layout is scrolled all the way to the top. Even though the focus of the cursor is in the correct field in the portal down below. Is there any way to scroll back down (I tried a script step to scroll to selection but that didn't work).

Thoughts?

Thanks

Thoughts? Yes... stop using script triggers for things that should be solved using relational database design.

There should be no reason to "snag some values" from another layout.

I've been known to snag a value now and then. You could pop up a new window off screen and then close it. That way your starting layout and position are preserved.

I'm going to hold you to that. :D
