Newbies Gareths Posted October 1, 2007 Newbies Share Posted October 1, 2007 I posted this thread a few weeks back but it ended up getting redirected to a place noone would visit and then just as quickly ignored so I thought I would repost in an effort to help troubleshoot my problem. "I've created a new db but it wont let me close the active window. It dosn't seem to be stuck in a script so I cant work out what it might be. Can anyone help or let me know how to debug, I can't think of anything." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It sounds like a script is running (maybe paused). Does the Status bar show a Continue (and maybe Cancel) button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriceN Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 (edited) I have also a file that won't close using a "Close window" script step, and never understood why. But it closes with the red button (mac) or red cross (windows). Do you have to force quit ? Edited October 1, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean West Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Is this file a singe file or does it reference another file that is open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Taylor Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 This could happen if you use a custom menu set The close window command (as with almost all window commands) is governed by the script attached to the first occurance of the specific command in the menu set. http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/186122/post/247441/hl//fromsearch/1/ & http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/186066/post/247248/hl//fromsearch/1/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fabriceN Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Thanks Stuart, but that's not it (in my case). To be more specific, the window closes but re-opens right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aholtzapfel Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Is there a shutdown script, It could reopen the file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Taylor Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Can you strip out the file and post it ... this is interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies Gareths Posted October 3, 2007 Author Newbies Share Posted October 3, 2007 Thanks Stu, you were right! I changed the menu set on one of the layouts and now it closes. Just a note for anyone reading this, you can't close the active window in 'data mode'. Now I can finally rest easy at night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
