I have a question in 4th Dimension that I hope someone can help me.

I have a database with an Input layout and an Output alyout.  There are 4 
pages in the Input layout.  In the first page, there is Choice field 
where I will input 0, 1, or 2.  If Choice=0, then I will be switched to 
page 2.  If Choice=1, then I will be switched to page 3, and so on.  Now 
when I am in the Output layout (in User mode, not Runtime mode) and 
select a record and choose Modify from the menu, I want my program to 
bring me back to the right page of the Input layout, i.e. if I select a 
record with Choice=1, I want to go back to page 3.  How can I do that?

Your help would be much appreciated.

P.S.  Is there other way of designing (or redesigning) my database so 
that I can go back to the right page.

I know that I can add buttons (with script) to take me back to the right 
page in the Runtime mode.  But making my database into Runtime mode will 
be my last resort.
