Filemaker shutdown not working?

[rbanks]

I've put the following code into the Retrospect Event Handler (in the library/preferences/Retrospect dir):

 

 

 

on scriptStart given scriptName:theScript, startDate:theDate

 

if theScript is "EasyScript Backup" then

 

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

 

quit

 

end tell

 

end if

 

end scriptStart

 

 

 

on scriptEnd given scriptName:theScript, scriptErrorMessage:theError, errorCount:theErrorCount

 

if theScript is "EasyScript Backup" then

 

tell application "FileMaker Pro"

 

activate

 

open file "Server HD:Applications:FileMaker Pro 5.5 Folder:databases:Filemaker Open, Close"

 

end tell

 

end if

 

end scriptEnd

 

 

 

It's based on the sample script in the manual. After Filemaker starts, I want to open a file that contains an autorun FM script that opens the databases. The log indicates the backup ran OK, but we're left with a bunch of "Filemaker Pro has unexpectedly quit" messages, and it doesn't restart. Is the event handler not working? Is the script bad? Is there a better way to do all this?

 

 

 

Thanks for your help. I'm NOT a real scripter, so please bear with me!
