110 FileMaker Script Steps Reference
Description
Recovers a damaged FileMaker Pro file. FileMaker Pro attempts to repair and recover as
much of the information in a damaged file as possible, and then creates a new, recovered
file. The original file is not deleted or replaced.
Note Before you begin, be sure you have enough disk space for the recovered file. If there
isn't enough space, the recovered file won't be usable.
Example
#Note: The Recover command makes an aggressive attempt to reopen a
damaged file. It is intended for data recovery, not file repair.
Do not use the Recover command as part of routine file maintenance.
