EventScript and FM9

[nutso]

Does anyone know if the EventScript plug-in will work with FM9? I've been using EventScript with FM8.5 for sometime now and it works great. However I think our company is upgrading everything to 9. It looks like the EventScript webpage and plug-in hasn't been updated for quite some time.

I only use it for one thing. That is on-field-exit perform an execute SQL script that updates data in an external Oracle database. If EventScript doesn't work with FM9, is there an on-exit field option that can be set or something else that I can do with FM9's new support for external SQL databases?

Thanks

You can try zippScript, but there isn't any reason why EventScript wouldn't work with FM 9.

According to its developer Gaston Forgues, EventScript for Windows is not compiled to work with FileMaker 9.

It works... except when it doesn't.

He also said an update would come soon, but I don't know when.

Right there you go, just use zippScript (google it).

Thanks for the info Fabrice and happy birthday!

Thanks guys. I'll look into. At first glance if looks pretty good. If EventScript doesn't get recompiled for windows then I'll have to use zipp. Then I'll have a ton of re-programming that I'll have to do. Bummer

Thanks
