Scroll Window To Selection

Hi all,
I've been working with FMP for several years and it has been a  
pleasure so far.

Now I'm encountering a problem that is probably easy to solve - but I  
can't seem to find a solution, ...

Any help appreciated.

Situation :
Live Reports :
layout in list view is sorted so that not every records but sub  
summaries items are visible.
This sub summary now has a field to which a script is attached (button)
For some reason filemaker knows exactly what the first record of the  
sub summary is (get(recordnumber))
The script unsorts so that all record become visible (not the sub  
summary items)
It even selects the correct (1st) record from the group
BUT the screen is not scrolled to that record
I have tried go to next field, next record, scroll window to  
selection, .... the record does not come into sight - user needs to  
scroll up/down himself.

Perhaps opening the found record in a new window would solve the  
problem? You would need to close the window, when you are done editing  
the record, with a return script.

Thanks for the tip Jens
It doesn't seem to help though.

I need to stay in the list (which is just sorted differently) so I  
used a sort statement and a go to related records in new window  
(closing the first one)
The selected record doesn't come into sight, ...
I'll keep looking
