Hi all,
I've recently updated an OS 9 Filemaker database to be OS X compliant. In
doing so I've upgraded the backup routines to use some Folder Action scripts
I have built.
The current problem is that the scripts begin moving the files before
FileMaker has finished saving the backup copy of the file. While the save
does finish properly, this screws up the execution order of other items
added to the FileMaker backup folder. Is there anyway, preferably free, to
have the folder action pause or wait for FileMaker to finish saving the
file?
I have tried one solution that said to use:
Repeat until app "FileMaker Pro" does not exist
End repeat
This worked but slowed the machine to A DEAD SNAIL CRAWL - simply not
acceptable.
Any help would be tremendous!!!
Thanks,
Denis
