Runtime won't import

[CG Software LLC]

Hi, I have a FileMaker 7 solution on Mac. I have a script to import records from a user selected text file. The script works fine in Filemaker Pro however when I generate a runtime the script step Import Records does not bring up a dialog to select the file to import from.

Is this normal behavior for FM7 runtimes?

Thanks for any help.

When you create the runtime has the user got the necessary permissions ie what level of access is present?

Also, NEVER run the runtime and Filemaker at the same time - it causes some scripts to elegantly fail ie do nothing.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I've actually resolved this issue. When the files are bound into a runtime, FileMaker Developer 7 will check the box to "select file" in the import script step. I leave it unchecked so that the user can select the file.

The resolution was to open the runtime files in Filemaker after binding and uncheck the box again.

Best regards,

Thomas
