Cross Platform scripting

[Andrew R]

I am using Filemaker 5.5 on both macs osx and windows 2000. I have made a very basic script to copy and paste data from one field from a master record to related records.

It works fine on the macs, but only sometimes on the PC's.

It it a problem with the version on filemaker, will upgrading help ?

Or is there a solution to my problem ?

Help, please.

Use Set Field, instead of Copy and Paste.

Hi, Andrew. When you say it sometimes doesn't work in Windows -- what exactly happens instead of a proper copy & paste? Does any data get moved, or is it as if there were no script step? Is there any pattern for when it works vs. when it doesn't?
