I am trying to arrange fields from with in a script - is this possible. I want to bring different fields to the front and hide others to change the layout.

Appreciate any help.

Best regards.

Sorry, this isn't possible in FMP. I don't know if on the Mac you could use Quickkeys or not.

2 possibilities exist. One is to create multiple layouts and switch between them. The other is to use the "portal trick" to show/hide fields.

Basically this involves setting up the fields on the layout, then placing a portal over them. Base the portal on some kind of self-relationship from GlobalField::ConstantField. Then you can make the relationship valid/invalid simply by changing the value of the GlobalField. This will effectively show or hide the fields.

Many thanks.

I went the easy wayout and created two different layouts. Works fine.
