I'm trying to write a simple script that will import records from an external file into a table in a second file. Originally, I wanted to "call" the script in the external that found the appropriate set of records before doing the import, but kept getting program termination errors, so eliminated that step, hoping that was the problem. But no. I'm down to basics--adding only the script step to Import. I can specify the external file. But when I choose to specify the import order, then choose the external file name on the following screen, I continually get a program termination error box: "Runtime Error! C:/...Filemaker Pro.exe abnormal program termination". That exits the program for me. No damage seems to be done to the file. I've re-started FM7 and done a REAL exit, then started it again, same thing happens at the same point each time. Is there a solution?

First, make sure you are using FMP 7.0v3. The patch to v3 is free on the web site.
