Working with the Scripts menu

A group of scripts appears as a submenu in the Scripts menu. In Windows, FileMaker Pro lists as many scripts and groups in the Scripts menu as will fit on a screen, depending on screen resolution and the length of script or group names. To scroll through additional scripts and group submenus, click on the triangle at the bottom of the list. In the Mac OS, the Scripts menu is scrollable, and the maximum number of scripts listed is not limited by screen size or resolution. In both Windows and the Mac OS, FileMaker Pro assigns keyboard shortcuts to the first ten scripts.
