Defining scripts
Define scripts in ScriptMaker by choosing steps and arranging them in
the order you want FileMaker Pro to perform them. If you’re using a
subscript, define it first, and then define the script that calls (uses) it.
1. If you’re defining a script to print, import, export, find, or sort, first
store the settings for the script.
See “Storing settings for a script” on page 5-14.
2. Choose ScriptMaker from the Script menu.
3. In the Define Scripts dialog box, type the name of the new script, and
then click Create.
4. In the Script Definition dialog box, choose steps for the script.
FileMaker Pro includes preset steps when you create a script. You
can change or delete the steps.
To Do this
