open layout in new window

[ddenn98]

Dear Filemaker Wizards:

 

I have a filemaker pro 13 database containing data(Names, project completed, etc.) where we print completion certificates for our study program.

 

In this database, there is a button that when pressed,opens a layout(certificate) that can be printed.

 

Unfortunately, this opened layout covers the entire database screen and this is an inconvienence when we have to go back and search for another person.

 

Is there a way that when a button is pressed, this certificate opens in a new window and can be printed?

 

Thank you all very much,

 

Dee

Dear Dee,

 

What we generally do for this situation is script the entire process so that users end up back where they started.

 

Something like

 

Go to print layout

Enter Preview mode (pause)

Print Setup - Restore

Print

Go to layout [Original Layout]

 

Cheers
