Button setup not working

[john9210]

FM 15 Adv. The Button Setup in the Inspector and in Format/Button Setup is not working. I cannot set it up for a Single Step. Each time I try, it reverts to "no action" setting. It sometimes does this when I set it to run a script. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Hi John,

Have you been able to set the Single Step before and this is a new problem? If so, what Single Step are you trying to set?

BTW, it does this if you don't provide a step using the Box that pops up with the Single Step selection.

Yes, it did work before. I've tried a few: delete record, go to layout, etc. Nothing seems to work. I wonder if I should reload FMP

Hi John,

I don't have a windows machine, so if it is system related I'm no help.

Reinstalling FileMaker Pro seem pretty drastic. This sounds more like a corrupted file to me. Has the file been improperly closed lately?

Is the file being served?

Do you have a clean backup of the file?

Have you tried to recreate the problem in a different file?

It happens in all files. What do you mean "is the file being served"? These are all single files that I run on my computer by only me.

That was what I was meant. Your response has eliminated some things.

Maybe one of our Window 10 users can provide some other ideas.
