Apparently solved by deleting all scripts and then cut/paste scripts from last backup. Thanks John....

3 machines (2 - G4 Cubes (OSX 3.9 and 4.8) & 1 - G4 Powerbook (OSX 4.8). The problem has been reproduced on all 3 machines in all combinations...... either serving or not. Specifically, have tried the solution on FMP 7.03, FMP 8.03 FMP 8.03 Advanced and 8.5 Advanced... all with the same results. Problem has survived shutdowns, duplication and all of the above so that would seem to confirm that my solution is at fault. Thanks John....

My solution, started many years ago through 4, 7, 8 and 8.5, works perfectly. I'm starting a renewed effort to rework the database except that ScriptMaker scripts now refuse to reorder and when the script is dragged and dropped to it's new position, the script assumes the name of a script below the dropped script. I can actually have several scripts with the same name. If I click on one of those scripts to open it, it shows the correct script contents for the title but after closing that script, the script below it now assumes the name of the script below it.... and on and on. When I OK ScriptMaker to close and then reopen, the scripts are in their original order...... in other words, I am unable to reorder any scripts. There are about 35 scripts. I have gone backwards to backups of over a year ago and the problem still exists. It doesn't occur with a new database but that is based on limited testing and data. I assume my Scriptmaker is hosed. I was about to cut and paste each script out and then back in on a test backup but...... any other ideas. Thanks John.....
