I have written a script to open a few files in sequence, and close the window so that some of them are hidden. But I made a silly mistake instead of Close(current window), I put Close(file). One of the file is opened and closed immediately !

How to open this file again and change the script?? Thank you.

Regards,
Kevin
 
Hey Kevin,

There are a couple of ways:

1. If your are running FM Advanced you should be able to turn on script debugger which will allow you to watch the script execute step-by-step and you can terminate the script at any point.

2. Create a (bogus) relationship between one of your existing files and the one that is getting closed prematurely. You will find that when you create the relationship it will open the troublsome file either minimized or hidden depending on which version you're running. Either way you should be able to switch over to that open window and then edit the script from there.
