track of the tab that I was on and go back there?

FM 8.5 you can use object name , for the tab. Parse it to a variable
($$_Return) before leaving. Create a Return script and button; I use
one on every layout. With the right script sequence, you can make it
a back and forth rather than just simple return.

If in FM8 (no Object name) use a field unique to the tab; I create a
set of globals: g_Tab1, g_tab2... and add one discreetly to each tab.

Please elaborate on the process of "Parse it to a variable ($$_Return)
before leaving."
