FILEMAKER PRO HELP 978
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
The Allow User Abort script step only affects the script that it is executed in.
By default, users can stop a script by pressing Esc or Command-.(period) (OS X). To prevent users
from stopping a script, use the Allow User Abort script step and set it to Off.
Example 1
Displays the records in the Print Invoices layout in a new window in Preview mode and pauses the
script. You can click Continue to print the invoices, or you can cancel printing in the Print dialog box
because the Print script step does not specify "Perform without dialog." Allow User Abort is Off so
that you aren't left with an extra window open if you cancel the script.
Allow User Abort [Off]
