Ask FileMaker: Does it make a difference whether Structure Particles (Tables, Layouts, ‏Fields, Layout etc.) contain a space " " or not. 

In other words: Does replacing the " ‏‏" space with an underscore "_" help when writing Scripts, Formulae etc.?‏

Ensure every Script that has a Pause Command in it, also includes the Script: “Allow User Abort”, with the setting set to “ON” (See: URL and also: [cdii]). http://forums.filemaker.com/posts/3c71fa1e8a?page=3

Ask FileMaker to add a Suspend Script Step (unless it’s already implemented in the Advanced version), so that one can test a Script after neutralising one or more Script Steps and reactivating them after the test is finished. 

This will have the advantage that the neutralised Script Step doesn’t have to be recreated from scratch.

Ask FileMaker

1) it doesn’t show anywhere that allows the User to Scroll through Records, when the focus is nowhere (i.e. the cursor is not inside a Field),

2) Status Bar, which is at the bottom of the screen underneath of the Minimise/Maximise Bar,

3) the NUM Toggle is displayed (when the Number Lock is ON).

(Enter this into Google search: "FileMaker" "status" "browse" "mode" "toolbar" "scroll" “area” “bar” -Google -Advanced -bento -Marital -portals -Email -Resize -script -access -gridlines -"scroll bar" -omit -Error –commands.
