Quitting FM Pro

[agedpom]

I am using 8.5 Advanced on an Intel IMac.

Closing the program is a bother.

If, when I select "Quit FileMaker Pro Advanced" or the Apple Menu "Shut Down" the program takes about 75 or more seconds to do this or just freezez nd I have to invoke the "Force Quit Applications" command.

I generally have about 8 or 9 files open hidden all the time.

Why does this happen?

Actually my version of FMPA8.5 does this too, but i quit maybe every 2 months or so ... so i am not a good test case.

Lol, every two months or so, i love it.

[Stuart Taylor]

Its funny because its true... OSX ...and no im not a fanboy its just true. I kill one laptop every 14 months because i never turn it off. :

... how much RAM exactly do you have?

[RT]

mine sometimes does this, as a work around if you create a new script and tell it to exit application it should shutdown immediately

try this and get back to us if it works for you.

These seems to be an issue ... here is a poll for [color:red]FMSA 8.5 users on OSX only

... I'm Confused, do you mean FM Server Advanced or FM Advanced?

[Stuart Taylor]

You right I mean FileMaker Advanced FMA

FMPA (FileMaker Pro Advanced) is wrong i suppose.

Created a new file with a script "exit application".

No change.

Or did you mean create a script in another appplication such as applescript or apple events?

I think I have solved the problem.

I turned off all three types of sharing; FileMaker network, Instant web publishing and ODBC/JDBC.

and "BINGO" closed in a jiff!!

I'll let you all know if the problem really has gone away.

[agedpom]

Further research shows that it is the Instant Web Publishing option under the FileMaker - Sharing menu item which causes the problem.

So be careful out there
