If a user indicates he/she wishes to exit the database, this script progresses appropriately to the 'Exit Application' step, but then loops back to the custom dialog a 2nd time! On the second pass through the script, the database closes.  Any idea how this could happen and how to avoid users having to respond twice about exiting a database?  I'm stumped. The same looping occurs if using the 'Close Window' or 'Close File' steps.

 

 

 

Do you have any OnClose events that you attached scripts to?

Any help for this poor misguided would-be database designer would be appreciated.

Here's the actual script:

 

# Script exits database

Show Custom Dialog ["Exit Database"; "Do you wish to exit database?"]

Set Variable [$UserInput; Value: Get(LastMessageChoice)]

If ($UserInput = 1)

  Exit Application

  // Close Window [Current Window]

  // Close File [Current File]

End If

Exist Script

 

Not sure about your "Loop"  since your script does not contain one.  Also be sure you don not have a script trigger assigned to your button which could cause a perceived loop. Also remember the buttons assignments  1,2,3  are opposite to the displayed buttons for the user.  See attached.  Hope this helps or leads you down the correct path.
