"low memory" dialog

[Montessori FM Pro]

I'm building simple scripts from buttons that just change layouts - nothing more.

I keep getting a dialog box that pops up in the midst of the script that says "Not enough memory for this operation." When you hit the OK button, the next dialog asks if you want to contiue with the script. When you hit yes, the script completes.

This hasn't happened to me before....what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

Are you perhaps recursively calling a script within itself? FileMaker will let you create a script "Go To This Layout", then, when you're in the script, you specify a step:

Perform Script [ "Go To This Layout" ]

It's not an complilation error, but it's a logical error (in this case, not always); it will call itself over and over until FM runs out of memory. Sometimes you may not see it, if you're calling another script, which then refers back to the original.

Thanks Fenton - I think I understand. I guess I need to dust off my scriptmaking book again.....
