copies Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 When I have more than one file open in FM 8.5 Advanced, I should be able to select the "Window" menu, and see all open files at the bottom of the drop down menu. (I'm using Windows XP.) I used to be able to do this consistently, but then it became occasional, and now the menu never lists the open files. Once I minimize a file, I can't get to it without first minimizing all other other open files, which is quite inconvenient. This seems to be only a Filemaker issue. It works in other programs, and I've gone back to old filemaker files that I know showed up in the Window menu, but they don't any more. I've also reinstalled the program, and I have installed the latest update--all to no avail. Anyone have an idea? Thanks...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Head Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Have you looked in the Window > Show Window sub-menu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norma_Snockurs Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 ...Anyone have an idea? Repair the windows registry using a utility like Systweaks 'Advanced System Optimizer' or MaxSecure's 'Max Registry Cleaner'. If that doesn't help then run 'regedit' and reset FileMaker's preferences at: My Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro\8.5A As always, back-up everything before messing with things like the registry - windows is easily toasted. You might also try a re-install after repairing the registry - don't forget to temporarily disable all that CPU hogging virus/adware/spyware checking software.
