Script Steps Reference

38 FileMaker Script Steps Reference
Note If this script step specifies a field in a tab panel that is not in front, the specified field
is selected and the tab panel it is in moves to the front of the tab control. If, however, the
same field appears elsewhere on the layout and the script finds that field first, the tab
panel with that same field will not come forward. Instead, assign an object name to the
field and use the Go to Object script step on page 36 to move to that instance of the field.
Example

Description
