Firstly I'd like to publicly thank John for sharing such a wonderful free 'simple' solution . . .

I just wanted to share with others what is needed to do to get BackMagic working with FM 8.0.

Obviously tracking the latest tab is the main 8.5 function, so if you are willing to forgo this, and I'm guessing if you are still using 8.0 then you are missing out on a whole lot more, but that's an other story . . .

Here's the changes :

CF:
SeedCode_BackMagic_LayoutState

was:
"LayoutNumber = " & Get ( LayoutNumber ) & " ; StatusArea = " & Get ( StatusAreaState ) & " ; TabObjectName = " & SeedCode_FrontTabName ( 1 ; LayoutObjectNames ( Get (FileName ) ; Get ( LayoutName ) ) )

now :
"LayoutNumber = " & Get ( LayoutNumber ) & " ; StatusArea = " & Get ( StatusAreaState )

I also stripped out the 'Go to object (tab) script steps in the one script.

Keep up the grat work John,

Darrin.

Thanks for the excellent post Darrin!
