ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 125
Compatibility
This script step is:
• not supported in web publishing
• not supported in a FileMaker Server scheduled script
• not supported in runtime solutions
Description
This script step is the same as choosing Scripts menu > Manage Scripts, or File menu >
Manage
> Scripts.
Note Once an Open Manage Scripts step is performed, FileMaker Pro halts execution of the
current script. This prevents unexpected conditions from occurring if the currently running script is
edited.
Examples
The following script displays a message box that asks if the user wants to create or edit a script, and
opens the Manage Scripts dialog box if the response is Yes.
Show Custom Dialog ["Do you want to create or edit a script?"]
If [Get (LastMessageChoice) = 1]
#1=Yes, 2=No
Open Manage Scripts
End If
Open Sharing
Purpose
Opens the FileMaker Network Settings dialog box, where users can set up network database
sharing.
