Hi,

I have a script that exports records to a tab-separated textfile.

each time when I export a file and the first action after exporting is the exit application function I get this error message

-----------------------------------------------

Error in file "<unknown>"

This file is damaged. Click continue to continue using this file, or click Exit to exit Filemaker. Consult the Filemaker manual for information on Recovery

-----------------------------------------------

The weird thing is that I only get this error message when I exit after exporting the records, when exiting after any other function of my app. there is no problem.

+ when I open the file the next time one would expect the database should be recovered, but it loads without problems ?

I have no idea what is going on here.

Yeeha,

found the solution.

putting a flush cache to disk before the exit application command solves this.

Shouldn't need to do this. Have you considered that you file may actually be damaged?
