I will commonly start a script with Set Error Capture [On] to avoid error messages if there is a possibility that a Find will return an empty found set. I have always added a Set Error Capture [Off] step at the end of such a script.

While not explicitly saying so, FileMaker Help seems to suggest that the [On] step would be valid only for the running script, in the step Description:

"Sends error handling information to the Get(LastError) function after a FileMaker Pro script is running."

Thus the question:

Does it stay [On] until you shut it off, or does it have to be set [On] for every script (which would include subs)? Seems to me it should be the latter, because if it stayed [On], one could easily lose track of where it was turned [On].

Stays on while that script is running, which would include any
subscripts that run under it.

That's what I thought it should be.

Thanks.
