Problems with the WinExample plug-in from FileMaker

September 20, 200520 yr

I posted this to an existing thread elsewhere, but I felt it was worth posting as a new topic here. I think the information below may explain why FM doesn't install or integrate this plug-in as a feature.

I would also like to hear about others experience with this.

---------------------------------------------------

There are a number of problems with the WinExample Plug-in. If you have a 'regular script' that exits the field that the plug-in is associated with, it will start to run in the middle of the other script. Since it's not run with a button, you can't halt the originally running script.

I've also had corruption on EVERY layout that the field was on.

Also, although I didn't take the time to verify it, a customer with FMP 8 reported to me that the plug-in didn't run and didn't appear in the plug-in list. Reviewing the details of the plug-in file in Windows Explorer showed that it actually was opened by FM.
