"this script cannot be found or has been deleted"

[LexiKahn]

Hi everyone. First time poster, longtime non-intense Filemaker user.

I overhauled a very bare-bones, leggy and non-reportable database created by someone else who didn't really know about the simplest of Filemaker's features. She'd had, for example, a field for each of three widget types and had been putting X's in the fields to identify widget A, B or C rather than have one field with a pull-down menu or radio buttons.

The boss is going crazy for my new version with menus and automated scripts and stuff. And it isn't even very complicated, just so much easier to manage than before.

ONE problem...each time we open the database we get the error message ""this script cannot be found or has been deleted." I know that *I* never wrote a script that should have run at start-up, and didn't know that there was a thing called "start-up script" or "opener."

Am I getting this error because I hosed a script that is run by default upon start-up? Or one my predecessor had? Everything is working fine so whatever script that it's trying to run isn't preventing us from working. We just click OK and the database opens.

I'd like, though, to get rid of the error message.

Thoughts?

Check under Edit -> Preferences -> Document for the option to specify an on open script. It was probably selected at one time, but the script was never specified and reads <unknown>.

TOTALLY worked.

(You'll put your eye out!)

Queue is correct, and there's a second possibility. If there is actually a valid script listed where Queue has suggested, then that script contains a call to a script which has been deleted.

I got bit by this a while back and it turns out I had a layout trigger which I had deleted and forgot to uncheck. It happens !!!
