FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 121
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
Use Freeze Window to hide actions from the user while FileMaker Pro performs the remainder of
the script. A Pause/Resume script step unfreezes a Freeze Window script step.
Notes
• A Refresh Window step is not needed if it would be the last step in a script. FileMaker Pro
automatically turns off Freeze Window and refreshes the display when a script ends. Use
Refresh Window to force a window update within a script.
• A Pause/Resume script step unfreezes a Freeze Window script step.
Examples
Freeze Window
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Set Field [Table1::Salary; Table1::Salary * 1.1]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last]
End Loop

Refresh Window
Purpose
Updates the entire contents of the FileMaker Pro document window, including any related records.
Format
Refresh Window [Flush cached join results; Flush cached SQL data]
Options
Select Flush cached join results to delete the results of queries for related records and cause
related records to be refreshed. Do not select this option if you know your script does not affect
related data, and if you want to minimize the performance impact of re-accessing related data
(particularly when sharing a database over a network).
Select Flush cached SQL data to delete the results of queries for related ODBC data source
records and cause related ODBC records to be refreshed. FileMaker
Pro dumps the internal cache
and refreshes record data. Do not select this option if you know your script does not access ODBC
data.
