Thanks David, I think in a 1st time we will use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1938 (no coding, quick answer, no risks). How creasy are things, we sill see later if there is enough budget...

Passing information in parameters solves a lot of these problems, though of course those need to be used properly and they have their own limitations. Usually with a combination of the two you can achieve behaviors to satisfy pretty much any business requirement, even if it isn't possible to make it flow or behave in any way imaginable. > > -David > > > Jacques Le Roux wrote: > > Hi all, > > > > We are facing a pb and I would know if anybody never crossed it and found a > > good solution. > > It's easy to reproduce in order manager, creating sales orders using multi > > tabs in Firefox (or IE 7, or Opera, or even creating new windows with ctrl+n in IE 6) > > > > 1.
