Hi

Is there any way of writing out a log file to record step by step activity during a script execution?

I am a script beginner and getting my head around FM scripts. So far so good but need to do this logging thing somehow.

Many thanks

If you're doing this for your own benefit you may want to consider upgrading to the Advanced version. Then you cank use the Script Debugger, a very useful tool.

Only if you write the logging into the script... There are also some people who have invented this particular wheel: http://www.nightwing.com.au/FileMaker/demosX/demoX01.html

 

Unfortunatley Ultralog records changes in record data (and it is good at doing that) - not what happens during script execution. 

 

There are some tools and ideas around for logging script execution errors here:  http://filemakerstandards.org/dashboard.action

 

As @Rick Whitelaw says, an upgrade to Filemaker Advanced should give you full visibility of what is going on during script execution, and if you are developing seriously you should make the upgrade if you can.

They have Advance, maybe they don't understand how to use the Tools >> Debugger and Data Viewer?
