Startup Script - Exit Application - Ouch...

[DRingdahl]

Dang, just about finished an app, and I was messing with making a script

based menu. Some how, I have the start script doing an 'exit application'

Which means... When I open the file it automatically exits filemaker. Any

one have an Idea how to keep it open to fix my error???

Maybe if someone has the Dev7 they can fix it?

TIA

Yes, with Dev7 and the script debugger this can be fixed easily.

Attach a zipped copy of your file to a message and I'll take if out for you.

Thanks here you go.

So your startup script closes the window, thereby closing the file, and your closing script exits the application.....

Here is the file with the startup and closing scripts disabled.

Thanks a ton...

I know, I know... gotta love the logic.

No need for developer to solve this problem... startup scripts are easily circumvented by defining a relationship from another file to the errant file, or attempting to perform a script externally to the errant file. In both cases FMP opens the target file without performing the startup script.

This is why security systems that rely on startup scripts are so easy to break.
