Compatibility
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.
Note 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.
Example 1
Freezes the window, goes to the Print Invoices layout, prints, and returns to the original layout.
Freeze Window
Go to Layout ["Print Invoices"]
Print [Restore: Printer; No dialog]
Go to Layout [original layout]
Example 2
Freezes the window, then copies data from the Work Phone field to the Day Contact field in all
records.
Freeze Window
Go to Record/Request/Page [First]
Loop
Set Field [Customers::Day Contact; Customers::Work Phone]
Go to Record/Request/Page [Next; Exit after last]
End Loop
