Launch Script lock out

[sflynn]

Ok, so I did something really dumb. I was working on a launch script and I hit test before I double checked it, and now, it is closing the current window, and opening another but no layout is programmed so when I launch, it is basically going nowhere and I can't seem to abort the script fast enough, is there a way to force the database to open in layout view?

What are my options?

Yours... feeling silly...

I'm reading this that you have only One File. If there is multiple files, you might not need to use a new one here.

Anyway, a file opened through a relationship should bypass your script.

This recent thread might help explain it. Link

If you have FMP Advanced, open the file with the script debugger open, then kill the script when it starts.

Hi Vaughan,

Thank you, nice tip. I love it when I learn something new

The OP doesn't show Advance, but maybe they have access to it, and just haven't updated their profile. In any event, others will have a new way to use the tool, thanks to you.

Thanks to you all. I figured out that I could open another database, and while holding down the ctrl L key (forcing to layout mode), I managed to go up and open the suspect file and it jumped right over to layout mode.

Again, thanks for the tips.

Hey there Lee and Vaughan! It helps to read the links referenced ... Mr. Vodka said to use script debugger ...

Nah, I don't always read all of a referenced thread myself but I just had to tease y'all about it. y'all ... notice I'm picking up a southern accent?

Yas, missus.

Although it sounds more Swedish than southern, every woman can appreciate hearing THAT kind of comment every once in a while, with or without the accent!!

When you are 65, anything in the last decade is RECENT.
