go to a TAB

If you use the Tab control in the newer versions of FMP, can you set a script to go to one of the tabs? I don't see anything in the scripts that looks like what I am looking for, but I want to be sure.

Backup routine without FMS

FMP 10 or 11: Suppose I can't get the client to buy FMS (only two users), I need to copy the files from the client computer that has them (opens them first, becomes the host) to the file server where the backup routine catches them. I notice I can use "Save copy as..." when I'm the host, even while guests are there. However, if I script that, the script needs to find out if the FMP it runs on is the one on the host or the guest computer. Should I try isempty ( get ( hostipaddress ) ) ? Or just trigger the script whenever the file is closed, relying on the fact that no harm

FileMaker Pro 11 advert

I just receive an RSS update that was titled "New and Improved FileMaker Pro 11." I wasn't aware that there was an older, inferior version of FileMaker Pro 11. The release also said it was "Packed with new and innovative features..." This is not quite redundant (the root of innovative being 'nova'), but enough to look amateurish.

2D relations

Hi all, what's your suggestion for an optimum 2D display?

I want to show them as Group X: (column) 1 2 3 4 (row) 2 D E (row) 1 A B C I wonder whether to apply repeating fields for relation building. The place range should be from 11 to 99. I doubt that sl

fmview.php problems

I had an entire site built with the filemaker php assistant on FM server 9. When I updated the server to 10 and ran the assistant to add pages onto the site, it came up with broken links. After hours of analyzing, I finally noticed that the new fmview.php generated from Server 10 was different than the one generated under Server 9. When I tried to add records with the php generated with 10, it threw an error until I switched out the fmview files. When I did that, some of the old fm9 generated php throws an error now. Anybody have to deal with this headache and what exactly do I ha

AND Search and portal

It appears to me that in find mode, I can popule one portal row only. Question is how do I help my users with AND searches. Do a find, then do another find but do not hit enter but choose constrain found set etc. works, of course, but I'd like to make things easier for them. It's an FMP 10 address system where every address can have many keywords. Tables are addresses keywords keywAdrJoin I created an interface for OR searches that I might re-use: Users can tick checkboxes in a global field that displays the various keywords (and takes the ID of the keyword cklicked), GTRR goe

Music School Database

Hi all Congratulations for this great group, and first of all, sorry for my bad english... I'm trying to do a database for a music school. The problem is that I'm really not understanding how the table relationships work. I read the "Filemaker 10 bible" book and the Filemaker help, but that really didn't help much, so I must be really stupid (hehehe). The problem is this: I have several tables (students, teachers, employees, etc) and I want the following feature: when I write a class name ("piano", "flute", etc.) in a student record (table "students" and I choose a teacher name

custom menu: capture user selection in variable??

Is there a function or technique for capturing the Custom menu selection that a user makes? That is, if a user selects from my Reports custom menu the "Admissions Audit" item, can I somehow capture that menu title in a variable? I would then pass that variable into the script called by the menu. Such could then be used to navigate to the correct layout or whatever.

This period and Year to Date report

Hi am rather new to FM, using version 8.5 and have created a database to track conflict resolution issues for a university. The two reports I need are very easy subsummary reports. One by total service requests such as Consultation, Mediation, etc. and the other by Total Participants such as Faculty, Staff, Graduate Students. I don't need any details just total numbers. I can get either a period (month, six months) by doing a simple find of dates or a Year to Date by changing the date range, but I don't know who to get both of these times frames to show up on the same report with their

Using FM for organizing documents

Hello everyone, I would like to build a simple database to store and organize documents. In particular I would need to organize hundreds of .pdf (scientific publications) and would like to have a way to search by authors, year, journal, but it would be great also to be able to "tag" each paper with different arguments (in a similar way social netwroks do tag web links)... How would you modelize the database, remembering that in my phylosophy, the simpler the better (also since I will not be able to build something too complex) ? Thank you in advance, Diego
