FM 12 Hang

[Jeff Bills]

FM 12 often hangs with the spinning beach ball of death when I run this script (see attached).

It "says" it's hanging on on a New Window script step, or, I'm assuming that because it's always highlighted in red when FM stops responding.

The bottom of the Script Debugger window states, "unnamed button". I don't know what that is.

The script is accessed by clicking a button.

I've rebuilt the layout several times to make sure there is only button on the layout. The layout has no script triggers and the script itself seems relatively straightforward.

I've recovered the file a few times as well to no avail.

Any ideas? Should I rebuild the script from scratch?

A few months later and it's still sporatically spinning the beachball of death

Did rebuilding your script help ? I have a similar problem that occurs when I do a simple go to layout script step

[Jeff Bills]

No, not yet.  Maybe that's the next step

I spent some time with Lee Smith yesterday.

 

He suggested that my "if" statement creating a new window might be bugging and I can't fully remember his reasoning (his wisdom and knowledge are way beyond mine!).

 

His result was to go to the related record and create a new window via that script

 

The new result is below.  I disabled the "new window" step just for viewing purposes, created new related record step, and bumped the old related record step into the "else" statement.

 

We'll see how it goes.

Five years of dealing with this and I finally figured it out ... i had the layout set to sort based on the relationship.  Unchecked that and have had no problems for months.  Go figure.
