Carl: Thanks for your continuing help Re: Error message "Import script
cannot be found or is deleted."
The problem occurs AFTER the import menu screen. I can navigate to the admin
2 screen, and continue to the import menu screen. This one is fine, the
button is associated with the correct script #145. The error message appears
when I select the "Import a File into Names Table" button. I went into
layout mode as you suggested to reassociate the button with a script. The
button indicates "perform script" and it indicates the script would specify
"150 - Go to Import1 File". Is this the right script for importing a file
into names table? If this is the correct script for that button, what else
could be wrong? The error message reads: "the script cannot be found or is
deleted." I don't care about the files that I'm trying to import from
another database, I can get those again, I need to correct the import script
problem.
One other note. I tried going to my backup, which is on a zip, and the
same problem occurs. This indicates to me that Filemaker caused the problem,
not my ebase data files, because when I use my older backups, which I knew
were clean, the same problem occurred. I am able to use all other functions
in ebase, so I assume my names files are fine. Thanks again.

<<Be clear about where you encounter this error. It may be as simple as
the button losing it's association with the import script. For example,
if the point at which you get this message is at the Admin Screen 2
button for importing a file, it may be that the script exists but the
button somehow lost it's instructions for what to do. A quick check on
the script, in this case, is to go into the Script menu and select the
Scriptmaker item. Scroll down this list to the RECORD CREATION scripts
section (2 or 3 screens down the list), and look for the script named
"145 - Import Menu" (without the quote marks). If it's there, then all
you need to do is reassociate the script with the button. If it isn't,
you'll need to recreate it (that particular script is quite simple, so
it isn't a problem to recreate it).
For this, you'd need to navigate to the screen with that button, go into
layout mode, then double click that button. In this case, the button
should call the 145 - Import Menu script. If you double click the
button in layout mode and get a dialog box that says something like "Do
Nothing" or "Perform Script" and there is no script mentioned, you need
to re-set the button to Perform Script and select the 145 - Import Menu
script.
This same approach should work regardless of where the problem occurs,
but you'll need to know what script the button is supposed to use. If
your problem occurs at some other spot, let us know where the problem is
and we can tell you what script should be called. Lastly, the script in
question could call other scripts within itself, in which case the
problem gets a little harder to solve, but not a lot.
Hope this helps,
Carl
