FileMaker Pro 11

Hi guys, I need to reopen an old FileMaker Pro 11 project, but I lost the product key that was on the box, which I threw away. Can someone give/sell me one they no longer use (I can pay €10)? Best regards, Marcos

I have an active database file on my desktop to which I add records every week. I maintain an identical database on an external hard drive which I maintain as a cumulative backup of all records. I want to periodically move recently added records from my active database to the archived database, which I keep offsite for protection (except when I am transferring records). Is there a way to do this FileMaker-to-Filemaker records transfer?

With doing LIST function in a portal, the result field shows each portal entry (text word) on a separate line. How to concatenate the resul Example (portal entries): They went to school Need the result to be : They went to school

I have a file with 100 records, each record is a scanned image of one page in a book. So my layout shows single pages. What can I do to show two pages of the book (left and right sides as an open book)? or in another word to be able to create a related table with 50 records in addition to the original one.

I have a file that contains one word in each record, how can I create a field that shows two consecutive words "records": Record1: They Record2: went Record3: to Record4: school I want a field to show in record1: They went In record2: went to In record3: to school In record4: school Thanks

I just upgraded my Mac OS to Mojave (10.14.4). I am running FMP Advanced 11.0v4, and my databases are in FP7 format (due to a legacy system at work.) I now have a repeatable "glitch" where if I perform a find in a database and there are no records that come up as results (i.e., no records match the find), regardless which choice I make next (Cancel or Modify Find), the app quits and I keep getting the window to send the issue to Apple. I can immediately re-open the database, though usually the last 2-3 changes I made weren't saved. Other than the obvious option of upgrading the app, does anyone know of a workaround for this? Thanks in advanc.

Hello I find in an old drives some fmp5 files. To open them in FMP18 I need to convert them first to FMP7. I have an old version of FMP7 however each time I install it the app crashes telling me the installer was modified with another version and crashes. I tried to download from the Filemaker site the trial version but I can't find it ... any help? Thanks

Basic Question: I am attempting to import 60 records from a CSV file. There are 4 fields per record: First Name, Last Name, Email and Source. When I choose Import Records... > File... from the File menu, everything looks good, 4 data points point to the correct field names: arrow icon "Import this field" but the rest are the double dots icon, "Don't import this field," and when I click on the Import button only the first record is imported. I don't use Filemaker frequently enough to remember everything but when I need it, I really need it. I do not remember having to go thru and changing every icon in the Import dialog to import this field, I thought th…

Filemaker Pro 11 is running on two Windows 10 computers connected as Host and Client over a network. The script to import data from an Excel .csv file utilizes the following script step options: 1. Un-Checked - Specify data source - File 2. Check - Specify import order, Import Action a. Select - Update existing records in found set b. Check - Don't import first record (contains field names) 3. Check - Perform without dialog When the Import script is run from the Host computer, and the desired .csv file is manually selected, the Excel first row field names are not imported and the second row with the data is imported as expec…

After my Windows 10 based Filemaker Pro 11 MarinaPro Solution is launched (Path = C:/MarinaPro/Marina.fp7), I need to create a variable ($$source = filewin:/C:/MarinaPro/ResScheduler/) to a revised default "Open File" path. Because I need to select from several reservation request attachment Excel .csv files, placed in the ResScheduler directory by an Outlook 2010 Macro, my "Import Records" script is set with an "unspecified" data source. When my script is activated with Error Capture "Off", I get the obligatory Filemaker Pro Error message, "The file <unknown> could not be found..." and the "Open File window is still set to "Look in: "MarinaPro" (Default). An…

I've updated my computer from Windows 7 Pro to Windows 10 Pro. My FileMaker Pro Advanced 11 does not launch. I get the message "The application has failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect." What's the solution for this issue? Update: I clicked on an fp7 file, and then Windows asked me to insert the FileMaker CD, which I did. Some files were quickly copied over, and everything works fine now!

I have several customers that utilize our MarinaPro Marina Dockage Management solution. All are running Windows 10 Pro 64Bit and Filemaker Pro 11.0v2. All the MarinaPro solutions are functioning well with exception to the one marina that is using an HP LaserJet Professional M1217nfw MFP printer. The printer has been named "HP LaserJet". The problem is that scripted reports will not print after an updated/revised solution is installed on the computer. However, a test page can be printed from the Windows default printer. Print scripts are utilized by more than one report and this sample is named - "Master Portrait Printer | Current Record | All | 1 |" and…

In Filemaker Pro Advanced 11 ( and 14 ), is it possible to launch the Windows 10 Mail program (WinMail.exe.mui) using the Filemaker "Send event" or some other approach?

I am working in a biology lab and have developed several basic databases using filemaker 11 to help the lab organise their stocks of chemicals and so on. We have a fairly onerous excel sheet that we have to fill out for registering certain new reagents we make with the regulatory authorities and as these are a pain to use, they are not filled out regularly enough. I would like to simplify this for everyone by making a filemaker form/database that will automatically fill out as much detail as possible. The data in question is that when we clone a piece of DNA we need to insert this into several different DNA vectors that are used for different things. When…

Hi, A client of mine has an Windows 2008 Server which runs an SQL Server. Because he doesn't have another machine and (Due To some reason, my client do not wish to mess with current SQL database structure), so I will like to ins tall FM 11 runtime onto the same machine, The runtime solution is to schedule login to SQL server to perform importing / filtering and exporting data report. My question is :... Has someone ever done this and can it be done? Possible for FM to login onto same machine to access SQL DB ? Thanks!

I and most of my clients are still on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2003. I have several FileMaker executable files (solutions) developed using FileMaker 11 Advanced. Will these run on Windows 10? Will the Windows 10 compatibility mode (i.e., Windows 7) run these files? I don't have a Windows 10 machine to test.

I'm getting the attached error messages when trying to modify records in a file. It's appears as though there is some protection in place, privilege sets etc, but there isn't and never has been. I've tried recovering the file to no avail, is there anything else I can try? I haven't accessed this file in approx. 6 months, but have never had issues before and I'm the only user of the file.

I have a MacMini running macOS Sierra with FM11PA that works; however this FM11PA was installed when there was MacOS X 10.10 on the MacMini. Attempting to install FM11PA on my MB15R fails, well the installer appears to work fine( as pr attached image, ) but launching the app( as pr attached image ) tells me somebody has been fiddling with the installation and that I have to reinstall the application.

I'm running Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro just so I can continue to use FileMaker Pro 11. The software is owned by my client, which doesn't want to pay for an upgrade, and is used by two other people, one of whom has a PC. So I'm getting pushback on the idea of upgrading FMP right now. On the other hand, I have to use other apps which require using Yosemite. So, before I install Yosemite anyway and then find out FMP 11 won't run - has anyone had experience with running it on one of the latest Mac OS's? Our application is very simple. We just keep a database, do searches, and run simple reports. Thank you!

I am modifying the Invoice sample that comes with FM to provide some basic Inventory management functions. Works pretty well. However...I really need to be able to order a product in 2 ways : (1) (Kit - ISBN) and have that deplete and ship all of the parts that make the kit. (2) as individual pieces) For example: Kit 1234 (includes) 3 of part 2234 5 of part 9987 1 of part 097 Someone might order Kit 1234 PLUS an extra 9987. Make sense? No clue on how to connect them. Thanks in advance File Maker Jedis.

I hope I am allowed to post here for FM11 Pro Advanced on Win 7. I am struggling with the Code shown below. (mainpath = location statement for $filespec) ROT is the Destination Folder on my Desktop. After Final Testing, the Destination Folder will be elsewhere on my PC. I need to Save Records as pdf to the Location Path on my PC, to "mainpath" Location with the Filename "Service_Web_120716.pdf" I have chosen this method, so that I can easily change the Location Path to that required on other Operators machines. The remainder of Code has tested OK - It is only Destination Path Location that is causing issues. Error produced is::: Service_Web_120716…

Apparently, the keyboard shortcut to collapse script folders CMD- no longer works in FMA11. I use this all the time. Help.

Hi all, This is my first post here so Hello! At work we are still stuck on Filemaker 11 systems wise but also have Filemaker 12 on hand. Unfortunately my solutions must be built in Filemaker 11 so please forgive my ignorance if there is an obvious solution in newer versions (I've yet to read about any). Does anyone know of a way to return the Field name where a positive was found via a Quick Find? FM11 has the the ability to search all fields: Quick Find, return the fieldname: Get(FieldName) but I can't find a way of getting them to work together. Many different clients send data to us to be loaded into our own database system. The data we get from clients has to c…

I have two identical tables only one of them has data inputted into it the other table has no user access. After a user has created a new record in Table A i want all of the data to be duplicated into Table B and just stored there. This is because Table A can later have individual records deleted and we need to keep a backup of all the data entered into Table A I did write and export script which exported the record from Table A to excel and then imported the excel file into Table B but this does not work very well over our network. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i want to import into filemaker from a text file which is a result of a http request. (in filemaker 11!) actually, what i get back from the http-request in a browser is a simple OK 1204888105 now, if i do this via filemakers script step “Import Records” and XML Data to be able to write a http request, i get the obvious error: XML parsing error: invalid document structure Line Number: 1 Column Number: 1 so i was wondering, if there is a possibility to write a XSL style sheet, that can help me grabbing this text into a record. a style sheet, that presents this short text to filemaker as XML data ? thanks for any thoughts ! klaus

Hi All, I am using IIS 7 ,Filemaker 11 and PHP 5.2.17. I have installed IIS and Filemaker 11 server correctly and also for the default site added in the handler mapping section the correct path for the FM webpublishing PHP which is C:\Program Files (x86)\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Web Publishing\publishing-engine\php\php5isapi.dll.

Hi everybody: I have a product drop down list that shows all products for a certain supplier when making a new order. The list changes according to the supplier of the products. This is easily done by indicating who the supplier is in the products Table and making the appropriate relationship. Now, I want to shorten the list by eliminating obsolete products (I need to keep history, so I can't simply delete the obsoletes from the products table) The products table has a field which I can click when a product becomes obsolete. My solution (it works, but I don't like it) is adding a field called obsolete in the purchase orders table, which is automatically set…

Hi: By mistake I installed FM11Pro using the same licence key on 2 machines Windows 7 and Windows XP (yes, I still use it and love it) I thought: no problem, I'll uninstall and reinstall on one of the machines. Surprise, it does not appear in Add/remove programs XP; Programs and features W7, so I have no clue on how to properly remove it. Right now I have 2 users who cannot use FM concurrently. A possible solution is to upgrade one machine with an extra licence of FMPA 11 that I have, but I find it strange to be unable to remove it. Any ideas? Thanks Carlos

I have a friend who has just switched from a PC to a new MacBook. We are having trouble transferring files between us. When ever I send her an updated FileMaker Pro file, or whenever she returns it to me, the name changes, and it requires several steps to get it to open - like this: 1. We have an FMP file called PZF 6/28/14 2. One of us makes additions or corrections, and Emails it to the other 3. When downloaded, the file shows as a generic (blank page) documant, and is titled PZF 6_28_14 4. While downloading the receiving Mac asks if it should open the file with Text Edit or Font Book - naturally, the answer is "No" 5. To open the f…

Could use some help hunting this down. I have a relational database with one table containing 3 primary data fields to find records including a status which is Pending, Active or Complete. The other selection fields are Activity, Project type, Program type. When the found set selection is status is Pending and Program type is Emergency Repair, a phantom record is created which I can delete. If I add the Project type to the find, no phantom. If I add the Activity to the search, a phantom is created. When I search for Pending on all other Program types in the database, there are no phantoms created. It is only for this one program type, Emergency Repair. Once pa…

Hello, I manage a warehouse and created a database that maps all the pallet locations in the storage racks (about 400 uniquely named locations). I created a field for each location and each field has the same name as the location (ie: PR.001.A.01). The 400 unique fields are in 1 table named(Specific_Rack_Locations) and reside in 50 different layouts. There is only 1 record for this table. When something is received into the warehouse I create a record in a different table named (Receiving Data). It has many fields, 2 fields named (Control_Number) and (Location_Assignment) are the focus of my question. (Control_Number) is a serialized auto enter number field. (Locatio…

I'm running FM Pro 11 and recently installed it on a new Windows 7 laptop. Now a script that executes wget no longer works. See attached file for the error. I have installed wget in the Windows/System32 directory and that directory is in the PATH. I can sucessfully execute the batch file that contains the wget outside of FM Pro; it fails however when it is executed in a script (send event) Any ideas? Thanks.

I have found a Starter Solution template that I want to use. But to authorize secure accounts I need to know what the original password for the file is. I am in FM 11 Advanced. Any help? Thanks!

I am working with a FileMaker application that was built and maintained in FMP4, and am trying to migrate into FMP11. The files were converted first to .fp5, then imported into FMP11 and coverted to .fp7. Overall the fields, layouts, scripts and security accounts survived the process with only some adjustments. However, there is a problem with deleting records through a portal. Our main DB layout contains a portal to another table in another .fp7 file. The Relationships chart shows the relationship, and has the "Allow creation of records in this table via this relationship" and "Delete related records in this table when a record is deleted in the other table" chec…
