Help! Locked myself out of the database

[DataPro]

I'm finishing up an app that will be turned into a runtime program and while trying to hide the status area, etc. I can't get into layout mode anymore.

I created a script to run at startup (by selecting it with File/Options) called , 'Startup' which does the following ...

Close Window [current window]

Show/Hide Status Area [Lock; Hide]

etc.

It flashes something for a split second, then appears that the database is closed (I can't go to Scriptmaker, Layout Mode, etc.)

I suspect the Close Window statement is causing it, but can't seemed to find a way around this. Any ideas?

Since you're running the Developer version of filemaker, just open up the database with the debugger turned on. The startup script will bring up the debugger, then you can abort the script and go into file options and remove the script from the startup options.

w/o developer, you could try to hit escape as soon as the file opens to cancel the script.

That did it -- thanks! Usually I read up on a script command before using it, but didn't with the Close Window command.
