Database Reference
In-Depth Information
NOTE
If you have two windows open, both of them
are
connected in one way. If you edit the data in one
window and the record is visible in another window, the changes show up in the second window
(and every other window you have open that shows that same record).
Figure 1-18. The back window shows several records in the People database's List View layout.
But the window in the front shows one record in Detail view. You can also tell that the front win-
dow was spawned from the back window because its name has a “-2” added to it. You can flip
through records in the front window in their detailed glory and leave your list intact in the back-
ground.
Hiding Windows
If you have a window just the way you want it (for example, showing a list of ad campaigns
copywriter Paul Kinsey was assigned to), but it's in your way onscreen, then you can
hide
it
instead of closing it. When you
close
a window after using the Find command, your results
disappear. Hiding a window makes it disappear from your screen, but FileMaker remembers
