I am using a script to open another file to access data that needs to be changed. The problem is that it opens it behind my existing file. In the past when I have used a script to open another file they have always opened to the front. I have tryed all the options I can think of to move this file so when the script runs the file opens infront of the current working file. HELP!

Thanks,

You have three options

1. The open step have to be the last step in the calling script

2. Instead of Open use Perform Script External step, than in the called script put "halt script" step

3. As in 2. but instead of halting use "pause indefinitely" step

Make a script in the file you're opening that refreshes the window and brings it to the front.

Then add a script step to the end of your original script that performs the refresh script in the newly opened file.

Sorry, nothing personal -- but bad advice. From the first databaase run a script that calls an external script ending with "Refresh Window [bring to front]" step in the second database. End the script in the first database with a "Refresh Window [bring to front]" to return it to the user at the end.
