Remembered Tabs
A technically simple, yet highly functional FileMaker solution seems like the ideal type of solution. You won't have a maintenance nightmare and the end user payoff feels really good. The trick is meeting user expectations with simple solutions to problems not solved by FileMaker natively. Such is the case with remembering layout state within a solution. This can happen with tab panel objects quite easily - as this video will show.
By using a combination of script triggers and global variables, a "just-in-time" method of addressing this problem can be used. This keeps the solution light weight and more fluid within mobile only or hybrid deployments.
If you're looking for an easy solution to maintaining tab state then look no further than Remembered Tabs.

How do I get the layout number ?
Is this just the Get (LayoutNumber) calc or something else ?
