FMS 10 on Winblows: I want a quit a script if the file is hosted. Is
there an easy way to evaluate if the file is hosted or if it's local?

You can use the function Get ( HostName ). It will return the host
name for a hosted file, and nothing for a local file.

I get my computer's name when using that function on file I have opened

Well, then you know it's not on the server. ;-)

Or you can use patterncount(Get(HostApplicationVersion), "Server") to
determine whether or not it is being hosted on a server.

Or you can use Get(UserCount); if the result is one, then it is not
being shared; if it is hosted, then the result will be one plus the
number of client users.

That would make sense - if you open a database locally on your computer,
then your computer is the Host. If it's a shared database, other users can
connect to it there - you don't need an actual server computer nor FileMaker
Server to host databases for a small number of users.

I haven't got FileMaker on this computer, but from a vague memory (and
trying to translate to newer versions of FileMaker), you can perform a test
something like:

If Get(UserName) = Get(HostName)
then running on Host
Else
running on connected Guest / user computer
End If
