That is not what I was saying. You have turned my structure upside down. I
have one main line script that calls other scripts in the same db. Then
those scripts call subscripts in other dbs. These lowest level subscripts
are not executing. FMP completely ignores them.

But if you mean that you are calling scripts from other db's from one db I
can assure you that that form of logic does indeed work. I had a 120 file
solution that had one script from the MENU db executing 20 scripts in other
db's and some of these had one or more calls for scripts from other dbs.
Do you have any exit conditions in the subs? Do you test for MODE prior to
execution?
You might try putting dialog popups before the sub-call, then in the Sub
itself and then after. Perhaps it is executing but exiting at some failure
point.

In FMP5.5 a script in one file can only act on that file. A reusable
script would, by necessity, need to exist in every file where you would
want to use it. Is that what you mean?

It is completely ignored. I can get the logic to work if I replace the
Perform of the main script with its equivalent small script but this
defeats the purpose of reusable scripts.
Is there any way around this?
