Newbies Hirsh Posted October 1, 2007 Newbies Share Posted October 1, 2007 I have a 9 user FM system and have been using the EventScript plugin successfully on all the computers. Recently one of the computers is failing to load the plugin. It is in the correct extensions folder but refuses to appear under preferences}Plugins. I have read the previous post and tried installing EventScript 1.0 instead of 1.1 but to no avail. Has anyone solved this problem with this or any other plugin? I have tried reinstalling Windows XP and FM 9, even trying it on FM 9 Advanced. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Adam Dempsey Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 It may sound a bit of a long shot but have you tried installing .net runtime on the machine? It seemed to fix a similar problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgilders Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I just had this issue, and can share what resolution I found. We've upgrade to FileMaker 9 from 8.5 and EventScript continued to work for those users. As some users in the company are new, our helpdesk is installing 9.0 directly on new Windows XP computers. For those users EventScript wasn't showing/loading/working. I just found if I install 8.5 on those computers, EventScript starts working in version 9 again. So, obviously, 8.5 is loading something (a .dll?) that EventScript is using which doesn't with 9 (or it has changed in 9). Hopefully Gaston can get an update out soon. Otherwise, we'll probably just re-write to use ZippScript. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnFrusch@pepp Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 hello I'm experiencing the same problem but I'm running FMpro 9 under Vista business ed. Only 1 machine doeasn't load the plugin, it's very very strange. I will try the '8.5 trick' right now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnFrusch@pepp Posted December 4, 2007 Share Posted December 4, 2007 oh yes! with FM8.5 installed, EventScript works even on FM9.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Dragon Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Some of our employees started having the EventScript-not-loading problem recently, but it was in FM 7 or 8.5, not 9. I wonder if Microsoft pushed an operating system patch that affects it? I didn't bother trying to debug it but just migrated all the EventScript calls to Gap_Filler ScriptQueue calls.

Steve Wright Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Did anyone ever find out what .dll file is required from filemaker 8.5 to get eventScript to work on filemaker 9? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
