// comment out next line and it is fine

} else {}

return false

and ideas why the above is giving me the following error??

Windows XP, FM 11.04 SM 4.131

Has been working ( I think) till the latest SM update

java.lang.IllegalStateException: FileMaker called plugin on thread: Thread[main,5,main]; but plugin is trying to call back to FileMaker on a different thread: Thread[AWT-EventQueue-0,6,main]. This is not allowed.

I get the same error on on OS X 10.6.8, FMPA 11.0v4, SM 4.131.

Looks like thing that gave an error in 4.13 but was fixed at least for some functions in 4.131.

That being said, I'm curious as to why you want to use the fmpro.evaluate just to set a variable?

Interestingly, the global variable does get set even with the erro.... Maybe that's a clue?

David it was a test of concept so that multiple things could be the result of a single function.

We have a new version of ScriptMaster (4.132) that should fix this issue. It has yet to be live deployed but if you'll contact me via email I'll send you a copy of the plugin to test.
