Hello,

Thanks for BackMagic, very slick.

I'm looking into adding to it the tracking of foundsets, current record and sort state. Preferably with some flags or parameters allowing me to turn on and off the tracking of the foundset, current record and sort state on a per layout basis.

I have started down that road and have met a few challenges, I will post the difficulties in more details in future posts. but for now I just wanted know:

- If anyone has achieved this
- If the developers think it's feasible

Thank you !

Hi. Thanks for the post. "feasible" is a tough one to judge. These are my thoughts on this, though its just one man's opinion...

Found sets. My gut reaction is that is probably too slow to implement- it is one thing to save a found set explicitly now and then as a work list or as search results, but quite another to save it every time you leave a layout, record, etc.

Current record. If the target record is still in the found set when you go "back", this is probably pretty easy to do. Of course for simple navigation (1 click back from another table for example) the focus will already still be on the record you left.

Sort state. I think this is technically very tough unless you script all the sorting in some way that you can "replay" the user's sort request. If you just let someone right-click in a field to sort it an expect to capture that sort state when you exit the layout I think that would be very difficult.
