Script and USB drives

[Timwalker]

I have a file with a script that works on internal HD , but not on a external USB flash drive. (You can guess where this is going)

I spent a hour trying to see the difference in the scripts... IDENTICAL!

I finally solved the problem by inserting a PAUSE/RESUME in the script.

The reason it did not work on my machine was because I have the file on a USB flash drive, too slow for filemaker scripting.

When the file is on internal HD , no need for pause/resume.

Keep in mind for future problem solving!!!

I wouldn't use a Flash drive for my active files, in fact I wouldn't use them for back up either.
