Deleting a script
When you delete a script, FileMaker Pro deletes the script definition and removes the script's name
from the Scripts menu.
To delete a script:
1. Choose Scripts menu > Manage Scripts. Or, choose File menu > Manage > Scripts.
2. In the Manage Scripts dialog box, select the script, then click Delete.
3. Click Delete to confirm the deletion.
Note FileMaker Pro doesn't update any scripts, script triggers, or buttons that refer to the deleted
script. Be sure to make any necessary changes to buttons or other scripts after you delete a script.
FileMaker Pro Advanced: You can create a Database Design Report to determine which scripts,
script triggers, or buttons in your database file refer to the deleted script. See Documenting
database schemas (FileMaker Pro Advanced).
