Hello,

FMServer 5.5, FMP 5.5

In the process of designnig the upgrade from version 5.5 to 8, I have
run into the following doubt:

¿Is it convenient to have multiple windows open? I am unsure about its
implications (what scripts steps are compulsory not to run into issues
such as window focus, record locking, etc.)

¿Does anybody have positive or negative experiences with this? any
recommendations? (maybe even not to use this feature...)

I can see a positive side, but I also expect it to be very complicated
to implement. One posible use would be to have the menu bar (I never
use FM own commands or menus but SecureFM + own made menus).

Thanks

The only downside I've come across with multiple windows is that you
have to be in pause / resume mode otherwise you risk the user locking
themselves out of records eg.
window A opens window B
user modifies record in window B
user clicks on window A

The record is still locked in window B but the window is hidden behind
window A. I would suggest that you always commit the record in the
current window before you open the new window, run the script that
opens and closes the window with pause / resume and allow user abort
off. If abort isn't turned off your script will open window B, user
can close window, your script is still in pause / resume but at a
different window than where your expecting it.
