Using the information you provided I was able to come up with a very workable solution.  Basically, I setup a global variable whenever the delete button is activated.  Then when the “Calendar Update Event (event_id)” script checks for MBS  (If [MBS(“Version”)= “?”), I had it check for the global variable as well so that it will only do a full refresh when an event is deleted.  The delete variable then gets reset to null.  This works great for me as deleting events will most likely seldom occur.

Also, the updated plugin still didn’t help with the delete issue and the URL to PHP was the same.  Thanks again for your help!

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I’ve confirmed the web viewer object name.  However, I have narrowed it down some more:  I think it’s related to the MBS.fmx64 plugin that gets created when logging into Calendar Settings. After this file is loaded in C:\users\[xxxxxxxx]\AppData\Local\FileMaker\FileMaker Pro Advanced\15.0\Extentions directory, I can delete an event, but it doesn’t visibly clear off the calendar until clicking the Refresh button or restarting FileMaker.  Once I delete the MBS.fmx64 plugin, the delete function works properly again.  I’ve been able to replicate this on other PC’s.  However, Macs work just fine.  Also, my Mac will not redraw the entire screen when creating or deleting an event, but PC’s seem to refresh the entire screen.  Since all of the users who create events will be using Windows, I’d appreciate any help.  Thanks!

I haven’t been able to conclusively test everything, but I wanted to give more information:

This may have more to do with my PC or a combination of issues.  After clearing out the /users/[xxxxxxxx]/AppData/Local/FileMaker directory on Windows and changing the Layout from “D-W-M + Resource Menu” to “Context Menus”, I was able to delete events with no problem.  When I changed back to the “D-W-M…” layout, the delete problem came back.  Clearing out the above directory and moving back to Context Menus seems to solve this issue for now and the screens are refreshing much faster.
