Description
If you do not specify a file, FileMaker Pro stops the currently running script and closes the FileMaker file that the script is running from.
This script step disconnects the specified ODBC data source. This lets you “re-login” to the specified ODBC data source with a different user name and password, without closing the FileMaker file.
Notes
•If a user moves the specified file, FileMaker Pro might not be able to close the file.
Example 1
Opens the Invoices database and performs a script, then closes the current database.
Open File ["Invoices"]
Perform Script ["Sort Records" from file: "Invoices"]
Close File [Current File]
