Chris, Be warned, browser A != browser B. You may find that some browsers and or browser settings will not let your window "steal focus" or other such browser tricks. (pop-up blockers like to disable this ability in particular.)
I am not sure what your trying to achieve, but here are a few random thoughts... 1) On close of "console" submit a record for the user to "hold the state" of the console at the time of close. Then on "open" do a set field action to "reset" the state. That might allow you to not keep the console open and still "know" what the form's condition was "last". (So you can use a Button with a simple Window Open action.) 2) You could close all "other" windows that do not mach your concept of the window ID from the Global field. But you might also end up with no windows too. (not sure if that would force the user back to the Home Page or just close the session/browser. A possibly interesting side effect.) If you can be more detailed about what your trying to do then maybe more ideas would surface from the group?

Hi all I'm attempting to reproduce the functionality provided by the Home Page button for a form that *isn't* (and cannot be) the home page. For reasons of brevity it shall hereafter be referred to as "the console". Best I can come up with is the following: 1. Capture the window id of the console in a Global field on window open 2. When one of the "go to console" buttons is clicked, send a "CloseWindow" event to the current console (using aforementioned id). 3. Open a new console. Ideally I'd like to be able to send an event that would cause the console to steal focus (i.e. move to front) so that current console information (row selection etc) is retained. Has anyone ever done anything like this? Can you suggest an alternative approach?
