Simon:

Do you have the screen saver set to ask for a password?

It seems that we have the opposite experiences. My FMP app stays up all of the time on OS X but can't do anything behind the screen saver login.

I don't have an answer to getting rid of the screen saver but neither have I experienced your problem with regards to FileMaker Pro and the screen saver. We have a number of scripts which do routine admin work at 3:00 am. The screen saver is the computer name one and IIRC, the screen is set to switch off after 5 minutes of inactivity. These scripts tend to run fine regardless.

I'd look elsewhere for your problem. Check for updates to FMP on the FileMaker site etc.

FWIW, FileMaker Pro under OS X seems to "unexpectedly quit" a lot and is generally quite flakey. So code for this.
