FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 132
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
If you do not specify a file, FileMaker Pro stops the currently running script and closes the FileMaker
database that the script is running from.
This script step disconnects the specified ODBC data source. This enables you to “re-login” to the
specified ODBC data source with a different user name and password, without closing the FileMaker
file.
Note If a user moves the specified file, FileMaker Pro might not be able to close the file.
Examples
Close ["Names"]
Close ["Payments"]
Close ["Tasks"]
Close [Current File]
