select window vs open file
select window vs open file
(OP)
HI Everyone
I am wanting to open another file from the present location, but if it is already open i want to just goto that window
is there a way of saying
go to "A" window if the file is not open, open it
the reason i need to do this is because there is a start script that clears some global fields and if its already been opened i need to be able to flick back and forth without the fields being cleared.
hope i've explained it clearly
thanks
sarah

RE: select window vs open file
If you open a closed file through a relationship or by calling a script, FM will skip the opening or startscript.
You can go to whatever layout you want from one file to an other by:
storing your layout in a global and call this value in the second file (FM lower 7)
script the navigation with a script parameter (FM 7+)
