Tracking scripts

[Melsie]

Hi,

I have a bit of a silly question. When I first started developing my database I didn't really know what I was doing, especially when I started using scriptmaker. Now I have made my db larger and have heaps of scripts....

But is there a way to print out a list of all scripts in a file and where(if) they are attached to, as I don't know if all my scripts are in use (some of them may have been testers), but don't want to delete anything in case I have got it attached and doing something important and have forgotten.

Hi Melsie,

You do know that you can print the scripts (one or all) using the Print function in FileMaker, right?

As far as what they are attached to, that is not something that is native to FileMaker. Although, I don't have Developer version 6, so I'm not sure what the script tool does, so others will have to chime in here.

However, you can use the Show Buttons (Menu-View-Show-Buttons) in the Layout mode which will put a box around your buttons. If you then click on each of the buttons, the "Specify Button" box comes up with the Script that is attached in the box.

Printing to PDF is very handy, since a PDF is searchable.

If you have some $, you can see all dependencies of scripts, fields, layouts etc. with FileMaker Developer + Analyzer.

There are other commercial products and a few free tools, take a look:
