I have just converted my database from FMv6 to FMv7. The whole process
seemed to have gone through without a problem until I checked the Scripts
menu and noticed that none of the scripts were exported over, the only
Script listed was Debug Scripts.

Anyone else experienced this problem or know how to get around it?

I have got a lot of scripts (around 200), could that be a problem?

Regards,



Nick

The number of scripts would not be an issue in your case. Since you are
seeing 'Debug Scripts', you are apparently looking at the Scripts menu
and you don't see any of your scripts listed there. But if you open
ScriptMaker itself (on the Scripts menu), do you see any scripts or is
it totally empty?

I've tried running it and nothing happens.

The conversion document log doesn't mention any errors regarding importing
the scripts either.

Hi Nick,

apparently you're using Filemaker Developer : the "Debug Scripts" you see
at the top of your list is actually the Script Debugger (part of
Developer). If you click on it, it is activated (marked), allowing you to
step through scripts one step at a time.

Are you sure you have sufficient access privileges for the file ?
Converting the file does sometimes produce the necessity to open the
converted file with an (empty) password. Are you able to access "Define
Fields" ? Check the "Access & Privileges" as well, also in the original
file.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Peter,

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately, still no joy. I am definitely
logging in with full privileges.

Look like I'll have to copy them over manually, oh joy!

I'm sorry I have no answers as to why the scripts didn't convert. I
have not heard of any such problems fram any other developers.

Try a couple things before giving up:
1) In FM6, try using File > Save As > Clone to generate a possibly
cleaner version, and then try converting it to 7.

2) In FM6, try using File > Recover to generate a possibly cleaner
version, and then try converting it to 7.

Try recovering the files before converting them to FM7. It sounds like
file corruption.
