SnTT: Vulture at Work: Opening a Frameset as default, yet returniing to the last used view11:23:00 PMThis week's vultured tip is one Kevin Pettit posted to Notes.Net four years ago. I've been getting mileage out of it ever since.
Setting a database to open to a default frameset is all well and good, but the standard frameset opens a particular view or page. For our work management database, our users wanted to open whatever view they were in last.
Kevin's tip gives the details, but in essence, we save the last view the user visited in a profile document, and then the next time the user opens the frameset, a formula in the content frame of the frameset opens the last-visited view.
Our database has three different framesets, so we set three different fields in the user's profile document, tracking the last view visited in each frameset. Otherwise, we pretty much use what Kevin laid out.

Hey R.J., thanks for the plug! I should note that since R6 my "save last view" code is no longer necessary since you can specify this behavior in the database launch properties. If you do need to remember the last form or page though, you will need to use my code. <br><br>Kevin
