"Unexpectedly Quiting"

Featured Replies

We recently upgraded 3 machines from V6 to V8.02 all Macs using 10.3.9 and up, upon quitting FM it will quit (closing all open files if any) and then after a while it will bring up the alert window "File Maker has Unexpectedly Quit".

So my fist question any ideas as to how can I fix this from happening?

Secondly, will it or is it hurting anything?

TIA,

Connie :)

Good Question.

Sorry, I don't have an answer to it. However, I have experienced this, and in version prior to 8.x.

It happens so infrequently, I have never been able to tie it to anything specific that I was doing with FileMaker, but as a precaution, I have been in the habit of closing all files when not in use, and prior to any closing of FileMaker.

Lee, Thanks for moving my question to a more appropriate section...

As for my "Unexpectedly Quitting" issue it is every single time I quit FM on my machine, most of the time on the other 2 (they are both unsure). We all are closing the files with a script before quiting the program so I'm hoping that with this precaution that I am saving myself from any db issues.

Does anybody know for sure?

Is anyone else having the quiting issue?
