Has anyone ever come across this problem which is afflicting me on FPro 7 using Apple OSX 10.3.9? - If I want to copy a piece of text, for instance the word'Problem' I highlight the exact word 'Problem' then do 'Apple Copy'. - For some reason, instead of picking up the word 'Problem' what I actually pick up is 'roblem '. In other words there's a misalignment between what I see my cursor doing on screen and what it is actually doing. - It's only a problem in Filemaker, not in other applications. - I'me viewing Filemaker at 100% size. Any advice gratefully received!

I am running 6.0v4 and have recently upgraded several office sets to XP Home Edition, sp2. One set, already existing, has never had any issues with the Filemaker databases. The new sets all started running the database fine. Then one by one, have developed what I call "slow" disease ONLY with FM Pro. At first, if this was noticed right away, performing a restore to an earlier point on the XP machine would make it go away. This is no longer the case. The database, even if moved directly to that set and not hosted through the network, opens very slowly (3-5 minutes) and screen switching, especially between files, takes from 30 seconds to 1 minute. On the same network, mac…

I'm at my wits end with this problem. I searched through previous posts but couldn't find the solution. I had a Windows NT Server 4.0 which is my file server. I had my Filemaker Pro 4.0 files hosted on this server. Users in my LAN could access the files via FM clients in the network, as well as from outside the LAN (remote). Then recently I upgraded the file server to Windows 2003 Server. I installed FM Pro 4.0 in the new server and hosted the SAME files. Now, client access from within my LAN is not affected. They can access the hosted files, no problems. Problem is when I try to access the files from remote (outside my LAN). I try the normal way (which wo…

This might be a dumb question but I wonder if it is possible to have a widget link to a filemaker file. Im pretty sure if the filemaker file was published to web it could be done but an application like address book is addressed directly so makes me wonder if filemaker could also.

Hi there, A guy wants to operate a solution over a Windows network. He got 2 copies of FileMaker and the solution. Please read the comments he submitted: Does the app require a network in a domain environment? Or can it run simply inside a workgroup? XP Home edition is installed on two machines. Do I need to run the program from within a shared directory? How do both computers see the data otherwise? Any help is welcome

I have a LAN with four Macintoshes connected to a switch (not a router) and am seeing very erratic behavior. I set up a test DB on each machine and set them to multiuser. None of the Macs see all three other hosts. They all either see only one, or none at all. One of them can see two. Two of the Macs are running 10.2.x and two are running 10.3.x. I'm thinking that the problem may be because we are using a switch and not a router. It is like they are on a different subnet or something. Any advise is highly appreciated.

Hi Folks, An old client of ours has FMPro version 3 running off version 3 server on Windows ! I made a few small changes to their database and compressed a 480 meg file down to 350 or so once I was finished making the changes ! Now they get the following message on 2 of their 10 guest PC's - same 2 PC's all the time: "Filemaker pro caused an exception 10H in module Filemaker pro.exe at 017f:050582d2" Then filemaker crashes - It doesn't happen when they browse - just when they go to create a new record or something ! I can't see how it can be anything to do with the database - Then surely all the PC's would get the same fault !..............I …

I installed my FM Pro 7.0v3 on the two computers in my study. One is used mainly by my wife, the other by me. I am trying to share databases between the two over our home TCP network. The files having sharing enabled, and each computer can see the other's IP address, but no "available files" are listed for sharing in the "open remote" dialog. It doesn't ask for passwords or anything - they are just not there. One computer is WinXP, the other is Win2000. Any idea what I might be missing?

I use FMPro 5.5 and will be upgrading to Tiger any day now. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if FMPro 5.5 databases of this type will work with Tiger or whether I will have to redo it in FMPro 7. It is a one machine database with no server or web access involved. I have FMPro 7, but my database was too complex to transfer from 5.5 to 7 without lots of reprogramming, so I've not bothered. However, if I can no longer run it with Tiger, then I'll have to bite the bullet and redo the database from scratch. Thanks, Robert

We are running FM Client V6/Server V5.5, not sure of what our Terminal Server version is. Should be fairly up to date though. We have about 50-60 Users on the Remote/Terminal system. We have a file that stamps each record with their name, using the FM Auto-Enter Creation Date. Always works, so I know FM on the Terminal Server has their name. Later, during an Approval process, I use a Set Field script step with the Status(CurrentUserName) option to put their name in an approval field. PROBLEM: Most of the time (but not all), from the Terminal Server, the Status(CurrentUserName) does not show up in our text field, when we run the script. Very perplexi…

Hello all, I have a FM 6 solution that is deployed using CitrixMF as a Published application. The setup is great, thanks to everyone who helped me make the choice! I now have an odd printing issue. The report I am printing is a multipage document. The body of the document is a merged field that spans a number of pages. The form has a footer but no headers. In my office, printing works fine (of course) but when my client prints to his printers the merge field, totally ingores the footer and prints right over the text in the footer and prints right to the bottom of the page. Anyone ever seen this type of issue? We are both pringing to a local printe…

I used Internet Connect on my ibook to establish a VPN to my Mac OS X Panther Server /Filemaker Advanced Server. Open Remote did not see the databases. What am I doing wrong? Do I need cooperation from the IT guys? Is VPN Tracker the answer?

I have been upgrading an application from FM6 to FM7 on my Mac (Tiger). However, the user is testing the application on Windows XP and there appear to be some rather bizarre differences. One is that when he user clicks on a tab that goes to a layout (in a different UI file), that layout is initially in Find mode. However, when the user enters data into a field on the layout and hits enter to invoke the Find, the layout switches immediately to another layout (in a different UI). On the Mac it behaves correctly and stays on the layout to let the user use the data for processing. There is also some differences in the behaviour of a plugin but that might be the fau…

When I access my databases from a remote machine, it opens up the databases fine, for about 30 seconds and then throws a dumpfile error. Have any of you guys encountered this? I've done quiyte a few installations on XP, and this is the first time I've had trouble.

Hi- I am wondering if anyone has any experience using SyncDek to synchronize databases. We are a small office with a few remote users currently connecting through a VPN. This connectivity however is very slow so I am looking into alternative ways to share our database. Our database contains patients' medical information and I don't think sharing via the web is a good option. If this is not the right subforum to address, could someone please direct me to the correct one. Thanks for any input.

Hi All I don't use filemaker that much.. but i have a client that is asking me to build them a computer system (PC, Winxp). the main purpose of this system is for importing records into his FM application... the last time we did this we used a 1Ghz PC with 512MB Ram.... and imported over 500,000 records.. it took close to two days to complete... I'm looking for a way to speed up that process.... it seemed like the memory in the system was fine and it was the CPU that was working harder and i feel that is the bootleneck.... Anyone have any recommendations to get these jobs done quicker? I'm thinking... Dual Xeon 3.0Ghz + CPU's and SATA Hdd's with 512Ram or …

I have a database that is being shared by 3 computers over Airport Extreme. File sharing and network printing work fine.

Powerbook 1 has been accessing the database for over a year with no troubles until I upgraded to Tiger over the weekend. Now I can't even see the host in the Open Remote File window. Powerbook 2 is experiencing the same problem. All three computers can connect to each other a…

I've got an OSX 10.3.8 machine set to share 3 Filemaker 5.5 files. I'm trying to connect to it using "Open Remote" from a powerbook with OS9.2.2 and it just isn't working. I've confirmed that the files are "shared" and that the network has integrity. I'm able to mount the OSX machine and view the shared files from "local Network" in the Network Browser. Also... on the OS9 machine... I'm able to "Open Remote" to a separate OS9 machine acting as the server for the same files. Of course, I'm not trying to do this all at once. I've tried different configs: isolating two machines at a time: OSX and the Powerbook, and and OS9.2 (serving) and the Powerbook (which works…

Now a white background matte is displayed filling in the entire field of the photo image. I'm using FM 7.0 v3. I've turned on and off the transparency selector in the fill panel. If I select a solid color other than white the photo field remain white as it should since it was imported with out a background. Is there a preference setting I'm missing? Is…

But when I log in from a client machine (with a single user FMPro 6 installed) via TCP over the net, something goes wrong. The database looks fine eccept from the pictures (JPG). In all the pict-fields the pictures are now missing and instead it says something like this: "Could not draw picture file: 11547-abc.jpg". Again everything is fine in the local shared version, but it looks like it can not…

I'm running fm5 server on MacosX.3.8 Server and am wondering how fmpro clients handle filesystem permissions. For example, when a fm script runs an import from a file on the server, what username is asking for that file? I've looked in netinfo and can't seem to find a user called "fmpro" (the way I would "mysql" or "www"). So how is the os determining access? Also, any tips for sure-fire imports/export from/to any location on the network using filemaker, I'm running into trouble with fmpro's ability to remember where it is importing from!

Anyone here setup FMS7 on a machine behind a router/firewall connected to the Internet via comcast? Aside from comcast policy issues, I'm wondering what the procedures are. I'm thinking: port forwarding on the router to point to the computer running FMS7; opening up (what) port(s) on the firewall, and finally, if any of the services are filtered by comcast. I'm interested in both FM Remote access, and IWP. Maybe the port should be changed to make it less of a well known port (for IWP anywy)? This isn't a production server, it would just be nice for me to occasionally access a database at home when I'm remote. Bob

I've tried the Troi file plugin which will list the filenames but not the path. I've also tried versions 6 and 7 of FileMaker which only work on text files or common image files, not the .ai files I need to get a list of. Lol, I'm stuck building this database of 30,000+ files by hand if I can't find a way to do it automatically.

I am running on FM7 Client on both machines. Everything seems to be fast until you go to a page with a portal. The client side says it takes "along time" (maybe a couple a min) to index itself from the host. Is there any way to speed the indexing up on the portals. Maybe cache size or something.

I use FMP6v4 on MacOS10.3.4 I imported xml from http request but FMP has surely crashed and quit by the second import.

Is this problem nonavoidable?

I have to design a database that will hold a maximum of 500 records but will be graphics and video intensive, ie one seven minute Quicktime video clip per record and seven normal size photographs per record. The system will be designed on Apple for implementation on PC's. Can anyone give me an idea of the memory and processor configuration that would be required on the PC's to ensure full responsiveness in this system Chris

First of all: I'm glad to have discovered this forum, wish you all a great 2005. Here's te question: I've been using Filemaker since Filemaker II and I'm used to upgrading each time there's a new version. No problem putting it on my dual 1,25 G4 I guess. But what about my iBook G3 500Mhz? That I use probably more than my G4 and I was not planning to throw out. I'm using Classic on that one, afraid that Panther (let alone Jaguar) would make it collapse... Now, if I move to 7, what's gonna happen? Will it be able to run

I have created a dbase on macintosh (X). One layout (amongst others) displays imported text from EXCeL/word. If this layout is switched (no problem at all on MAC) and the dbase is opend in windows (XP) the programme bombs out. Hence from this layout (quite important to me) no use can be made in windows at all. Any solution???

This is a post related to: thread I am hosting with Filemaker Pro 6 (not server) to 3 clients all using 10.3.3 and have been getting the 3259 disconnection from host error on all the clients. We recently upgraded to a dual g5 1.8ghz machine as our server and that's when the problems began, at first on 1 client, now on all three. Does anybody know about issues hosting on G5 machines? Could this be a problem with the G5's network card?

Problem: One layout on a FM6 system served by FM server on Win2000 to Win and Mac clients is misbehaving on OSX (latest Panther). Everything in the header and random bits of the body (text and fields) are invisible in browse mode (yet they ARE visible in layout and preview modes!). The invisible fields will appear (along with their data) if you click into them, and remain visible. This problem is not present on OS9 or win clients. I haven't seen any other layouts acting like this (out of hundreds, though I haven't tested them all). So If I duplicate the layout, I get the same problems. If I create a new layout and drop in elements from the problem layout (fields, text…

I have ports opened in the firewall so Filemaker can be access from anywhere. All of the databases are password protected, but I would like to be able to restrict which accounts can login from the outside. So, some users can login while at work, but can't get in from home, but allow others to get in from both. Is there a way to do that?

Hi Guys, I've got a client that has a filemaker 6 solution. I've hosted it on a Windows 2000 Server. I've got 5 people using it on the network, and its working quite nicely. I need to connect three Mac OSX.3 users to the system, the thing is they are a "remote user" so I thought I might use Terminal services to do this. I've installed Remote Desktop Connection on each Mac. What licencing and price will I need to obtain from Microsoft to allow three TS users to connect concurrently, and has anyone managed to printout docs from TS and filemaker whilst logged on remotely? Thanks all Jalz

I am following up on a previous question about connecting remotely. I connect with my client using VPN and it works great, I never lose that connection. However, I am continually losing my connection with filemaker. I was reading other threads and they mostly deal with MAC OS, we are using windows Xp environment, don't know if that makes a difference. But it's hard to get engaged in doing work on the live system with continual disconnections. Is there something I should be checking on my system, or is there something that should be done on the server side. What causes or could be causing these breaks in connection. Would just like to be able to eliminate a lil if a…

I am having some problems with the performance and stabilty of Filemaker server 7. It is in a medium sized buisness network enviornment and there are multiple users across a local network and vpn. I use remote desktop to manage and monitor the server. In the past few days I have had a high number of crashes (4 in 1 day) and numerous corrupted files. I have installed the upgrades, tried to optimize larger files, and saved compressed copies but the stability dosen't seem to have improved. I cant seem to pinpoint any circumstances that would cause the server to be so unstable. I was hoping to get some helpful hints or user experiences...

My databases contain dynamic graphs or maps which reflect data specific to each record, and which need to be refreshed when switching records. Navigating among records is therefore done with brief scripts that include a refresh step; the Status Area is hidden. However, one can still scroll records with the mouse wheel, and lose the updating. Can scrolling be turned off from within Filemaker? It seems unrealistic to expect people to turn off scrolling ahead of time.

We have FM Server 5.5 running on a G4, accessed by FM 6 clients on OS X 10.3 and XP. We just installed a terminal server running Windows Server 2003. In testing out our rather complex database solution over terminal services, I encountered one print script that is supposed to only select records for the current user and print them. Instead, it prints every user's records. I narrowed down the failure to the following script steps: Copy [select, "gID Current User"] <-- this is a global field Enter Find Mode [] Paste [select, No style, "User ID"] <-- this is a number field What fails (apparently randomly) is that the copy step fails to copy the global f…

Hi, I am using FMP Pro 5.5 Unlimited on a Mac running OS 9.2. We are trying to send e-mail via FileMaker, using Eudora 5.1. The problem is that the mail we are creating with the "sendMail" command, stay in the outbox and are not sent automaticaly. Is it a known problem, can it be fixed by using another mailer like Outlook or something else? Thanks for your help. Brigitte

I am having a problem with FMP crashing and showing an error message that says "FileMaker Pro.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program." I do most of my development of a copyrighted database program on a Mac though I do test and troubleshoot on a PC. All of my clients use this database on windows platforms. Several times clients have sent me a copy of their DB that is getting this message and I can not duplicate it on the Mac though it does happen on my PC. I have found one cause for this problem which is the existance of a graphic on a layout that is not within a container field. I have also experienced this error…

This is an unsual problem one of my clients is having. First, the specs: - They're running FM Server 5 on a Windows NT Small Business Server 4.5 platform - The clients (all on LAN) are on a mix of XP Pro SP2 and 2000 SP4 - There's a dedicated unlimited client, porting live to their site. - The system comprises of around 20-30 tables/files, and typically has 5-10 concurrent users on it. Recently, they revamped all their network and hubs from 10MB to 100MB. As of that time, each time a client logs on, they are made to wait around 2 minutes before FMP is ready for them to begin, and each time they print for the first time in a session, they are also made to w…

I am running a FileMaker 4.1 database on a Mac G3 with OS 9. I need to have someone in my office access the database from her Windows XP computer. Several years ago, I had purchased some software called PC/MacLAN that would allow a Win98 PC user to read a file on a Mac running OS 9. It worked beautifully, but I haven't tried to see whether it's still available (or if it will work on XP). Do I still need to purchase that software, or some other program like Dave? Or is the XP PC more likely to read the Mac files without it? (Please don't tell me to convert the Windows users to a Mac, the Mac user to a PC, or the Mac to OS X. I'm stuck with the current network con…

i have a small office setup with FMP5 on 4 machines. the pertinent files reside on a shared folder of the "host" computer. sometimes all 4 users access the at the same time. originally, the system worked fine. now, for reasons unknown, 1 or 2 of the machines can't access the files after it is started on another machine. i'll get "file is already in use and is a single user file" (or words to that effect). usually the program opens with the flash of a small screen alluding to the files being "multi-user". in that case, it seems to work o.k. other times it opens without that and no other user can access the files. any ideas? thanks.

Hi all, I have an issue that I hope that some of you might be able to help with. On my computer (Dell/W2K/128), I have FMP 5.0 Unlimited installed. I recently installed FMP5.5. After I restart the computer, I try to open FMP5.5 and I get a startup error. It's a dialog box that pops up and says "This application has been installed incorrectly or modified by another program. Please run the Installer to get a fresh copy of the application after determining the cause." Now, this message might as well have an error number attached because I have no idea what's going on. FMP installs have always been straightforward and no other program is…

I have a customer running FM 6 internally. The application is FM v6 and the FM server is v5.5. I have setup a sample database using the FM 6 application as a proof of concept trial. I think I have correctly turned on sharing and even IWP - but of course I could be wrong. They are a construction company and have users in the field in trailers connecting via DSL or cable modems. They need to connect to the internal FM database remotely. I have looked at the "via browser" solution, which works in a fashion, but it will need a major rewrite to establish complete functionality. I would like them to connect directly using a local FM 6 application -> File -> Open ->…

I've been trying to connect to my office with FM 7 from my home PC. I cannot access my office or my customer's servers (OS X). Currently I can access the hosted files across the LAN within the office. I'm running Server 2003 without IIS. The firewall is down on both ends - I can ping the router. Port 5003 is open locally. Port Forwarding is set to the server's local static IP I have the same problem regardless of hosting with FM Pro or FM Server. I have not tried web publishing yet. (and again, I also cannot access other FM Servers) Am I forgetting something? Any ideas? - Thanks.

I have installed FMP7 on a new Dell and want to connect to the remote server, a Mac OS X. When I click on Remote it gives me this message: Filemaker cannot share or be a client of a file because the networking stack cannot be initialized.I've been in contact with Dell and they can't help indicating it's a software problem. My son, who works with PCs & Macs looked at it. We have downloaded new drivers, installed a new NIC card and updated to the latest version of FMP7. Nothing works. He says it must be an issue with Filemaker. I'm currently connecting remotely from Macs & other PCs to the server and have no problem. Can anyone help me with this?

I am struggling with a slow remote database. After connecting to the remote database, the first time I create a new record it takes over 20 minutes to just create a new record. If I then create another record, it is relatively fast (1 sec to create). If I then close and reopen the remote database, it again takes 20 minutes to create a new record the first time. If i access the file locally, creating a new record takes less than a second every time. Is there anyway to force a log that will help me figure out what filemaker is hanging on? Any idea of what could cause this problem?

I recently relocated my guitar shop, run exclusively on the FM db I built about 4 years ago. When we went to 2 Macs about a year ago, we hosted on one, and logged in wirelessly with the laptop using "Open Remote". I've also logged into a static IP computer using the same function. But my shop is now 10 miles from my house, and I'd like to log into the shop network from home using Open Remote, but that network is behind an Airport, and I just can't see any of the computers there, even knowing the IP. Any suggestions? J

Hi, I have developed an application that uses the COM/OLE functionality of FileMaker7 to active the running of a script when a certain event is triggered in the custom application. Is it possible to pass a parameter in the DoFMScript function call? If so, could someone please give me an example? If not, then what is the best way of passing information into FileMaker so that a script can use the information to perform a specific function. I'm using Delphi 7 to develop the application and OLE (Late Binding) to link to FileMaker. Thank you.

I'm not terribly familiary with OSX yet, so my problems are likely attributable to ignorance, but here goes: I have a client with 3 Macs running OSX 10.3.x. and FM6. One machine has been acting as a Filemaker "Host", opening files at the beginning of the day, while other machines used open remote to access the files. No problem, except, of course, the machine was also a user workstation. Last night the client decided to rectify the problem by moving the databases to another machine, and have that machine act as host. Great idea - except now none of the other machines can see the files via "open remote". Move the files back to the original machine? That con…

Hi, I'm using Filemaker Pro 6 on Mac OSX (my iMac has OS10.3 and other iMac has OS10.2) - the FM db is viewed in Table format. I have a simple, flat database of a lab's orders that I update and copy (across the network) to the lab computer. Twice the lab's version has a problem with the date not changing as they scroll down through the records - stays at 8/26/04 instead of changing to 11/24/04, if they started scrolling at 8/26/04. The data is fine underneath and my copy of the database is fine. Last time I fixed it by re-creating a new database and imported the data from my excel spreadsheet. Is the database just getting corrupted occasionally or is …

I am using a USB flash drive (Kingston DataTraveler 516kb) to transfer files between an OSX 10.2 (Panther) computer and one running OS9.2. I have two intermittant problems. 1) sometimes a file becomes corrupted (whether read directly off the flash drive or transferred to harddrive) and must be restored, and 2) sometimes when I try to open a file, I get "Filemaker cannot read this drive" - no matter what drive it's reading from. (and it will have no problem reading other files on the same drive) Sometimes recovering those files restores access, but usually not. Again, these problems are intermittant and I can't find a common source. Any suggestions?…

I've just installed Windows Server 2003 ( 5 user ) on a PC at work and have set up Terminal Services to enable 5 people to connect remotely. I just have a couple questions: 1. I'm using 10 VLA licenses pack in FM6 so do I need to do anything with Windows Server 2003 licences? 2. If I am connecting from home with RDC can I print to my home printer instead of the printer at work? I have 5 users at the Main office connecting to a FM Server 5.5 all using OSX and the remote users are also all OSX. Any ideas.

Hello: I have a user who is experiencing the following symptom. Whenever the user launches FileMaker Pro V5.5.1, The application hangs at TCP/IP Successfully Loaded. Also the CPU spikes to 100% with System Idle Process hogging a large chunk of it. FileMaker Pro eventually opens up after several minutes of waiting. So far, I have disabled her roaming profile & disabled the Symantec Corporate AntiVirus client. I have also uninstalled & reinstalled the software. The problem still persists. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just reviving a previous post. Thanks for repsonses so far, but forgot to add to the question, how do I use Filemakers remote access should we choose to try that option? Seems I am not doing something correct as I cannot call up his IP and see hosted files. I have a new client. He's using windows platform as am I, XP to be exact. So he wants me to work remotely on his live database. What is the best way to do this with the least amount of slow down?:? I have high speed cable modem access. Thanks for any assistance.
