OnFirstWindowOpen Run a script each time you open a window of a database file when no other
windows for the file are currently open. The script is triggered after the first
window of a file is open.
Click Specify to choose or create the script you want to use.
Note Although this is typically the first time you open a file, you can also
trigger a script this way when you open a window for a hidden file
previously opened via a script or relationship.
For more information, see OnFirstWindowOpen. For information about
operations that do not activate script triggers, see Changing object data
without activating script triggers.
OnLastWindowClose Run a script each time you close the last open window of a database file.
The script is triggered before the last window of a file is closed.
Click Specify to choose or create the script you want to use.
Note The script will run even if the file itself remains open, for example if it
is referenced by another file with open windows. The closing script will be
performed each time the last open window of the specified file is closed.
For more information, see OnLastWindowClose. If the script executed by
the OnLastWindowClose script trigger returns a False value, the file will not
close.
