ILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 173
Refresh Window
Purpose
Updates the entire contents of the FileMaker Pro document window, including any related records.
Format
Refresh Window [Flush cached join results; Flush cached external data]
Options
• Flush cached join results deletes the results of queries for related records and causes
related records to be refreshed. Do not select this option if you know your script does not
affect related data, and if you want to minimize the performance impact of re-accessing
related data (particularly when sharing a database over a network).
• Flush cached external data deletes the results of queries for related ODBC data source
records and causes related ODBC records to be refreshed. FileMaker
Pro dumps the
internal cache and refreshes record data. Do not select this option if you know your script
does not access ODBC data.
Compatibility
Originated in
FileMaker Pro 6.0 or earlier
Description
This script step updates the entire contents of the FileMaker Pro window, including any related
records, and updates the visibility state of all objects with hidden conditions in the window.
You do not need to select Flush cached join results in order to refresh the entire window.
This script step updates records (rows) in the current ODBC table.
Note To update a single layout object without updating the entire window, use the Refresh Object
script step.
