Dane Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Got this tip from Mark (I didn't catch his last name) at a CAFDA (Chicago Area FM Developers Association) meeting this morning. (It may be Mac-specific; not sure you can "print" to a PDF from the Windows platform unless you have Acrobat Distiller or some other PDF Print driver installed.) Open a file in FMP 7 or 8. Open Scriptmaker (Command-Shift-S) Click on a script name, the Select All (Command-A) so that all the script names are highlighted. Click on the Print button. Don't actually print, but save as a PDF. Open the PDF (on a Mac that'll be in Preview, by default) and search for "Missing>". Any problems in your scripts with Repeat, searching for "". (You could just search for ">", but if you have any equations using a greater-than relationship, they'll also be listed...) This is especially helpful for trouble-shooting after converting a file from FMP5 or 6 to FMP7 or 8. Also helpful if you're doing development in FM8 and want to check to see if you've accidentally used any functions new to 8 that aren't supported in FMP7; just print this PDF from within 7, and any FMP8-specific functions that are in your scripts will show up as . As I said, not my idea, but I wanted to pass it along. --Dane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
