FILEMAKER SCRIPT STEPS REFERENCE 119
Notes
• When you use more than one Print script step in a script, the saved printer name
applies to only the containing Print script step.
• A printer name specified in a Print Setup script step is not inherited by any Print script
step in a script.
• Mac OS: If a FileMaker Pro 9 (or earlier) file contains a script with Print Script [restore;
no dialog], the output goes to the default OS printer when you run the script in a later
version of FileMaker
Pro (for example, FileMaker Pro 10 or 11). You can recreate print
scripts in the later version if you want to change the printer.
Examples
Enter Browse Mode []
Go to Layout ["Layout #1"]
Print Setup [Restore; No dialog]
Show All Records
Sort Records [Restore; No dialog]

Accounts script steps
Accounts script steps allow you to create and manage user accounts. With Accounts script steps,
you can:
• add accounts
• delete accounts
• reset account passwords
• change passwords
• enable accounts
• log in to a file using a different account and password
Notes
• Accounts created using script steps cannot be granted full access privileges (only
accounts created manually).
• Users who are not assigned the Full Access privilege set can only execute account
scripts if Run script with full access privileges is selected in the Edit Script dialog box
when the script is created or edited. For more information on access privileges and
script steps, see Editing scripts privileges.
