I am currently redeveloping our IWP solution and have come across what should be an irritating little problem but is rapidly developing into a major annoyance. I have a layout which contains a simple Portal into which I want the users to be able to add data, I have successfully used Goto Field elsewhere in the solution to get around the problem of reloading the page when a user clicks into a field but for some reason I can't get the field in the Portal to play ball. The layout loads with the fields already active but the cursor isn't in the field it is supposed to be in. I can click the field and get straight into it without the reload but I don't want the users to…

Hello, I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, I searched for hours and didn't see anything. I'm trying to run a very simple Finder applescript to launch a filepath out of IWP. I know the applescripts won't launch in IWP, so I was wondering if there was a workaround? Its simply: "tell application "Finder" to open location "SERVERLOCATION_FIELD" followed by an activate script to bring the window to the front. Perhaps using a webviewer or Java script? I'm unfamiliar with either, so that might be a silly question. Thanks very much

I have file maker pro 10. I am unable to access IWP from outside the local network. I have a D-link router DI-624. I called FM and they told me all I need to do is set up port forwarding in my router. But that was all the information they could give me. D-link was no help either. I need to know how to set this up properly. Does anyone have a D-link router and has set up their virtual server to work with FM PRO 10? IWP is turned on in FM.

Help! I am having problems with a Filemaker 9 IWP dbase. I have a table called "Destinations" with a portal listing all records in the destination table. The user enters their password into a global field called "zpassword." This table is related to a "Comments" table by "Destination_ID" to "xDestination_ID" and "zpassword" to "xpassword". When a user clicks on a record in the portal it either creates a new related record for them in the "Comments" table (and takes them to that layout) or takes them to an existing related record. This has been working beautifully (~3600 records created without any problems) except for 5 specific times when a user clicked on a destina…

I have a web enabled (IWP) database that has five layouts, each representing one of five pages on the "site". A web user points his browser to the FM server and clicks on the link to get into the database. He's a guest user and the database is set up to allow guest user access without needing a login. He sees Layout #1. He clicks a link that moves him to Layout #3. He closes his browser window, opens a new browser window, goes back to the FM server and clicks on the link to get into the database again. He gets Layout #3. This is definitely a cookie thing. If, in between visits to the FM server, the web user deletes the cookie he gets from the FM server, he sees …

I have created 8 separated databases and all are published to the web no problem. The issue I am having is that I want to have more than one database open at the same time. I have a master database that I wish to have open at the same time as another one (or several) in order to perform some questionnaires. The problem I am experiencing is that once you open a 2nd database while the first one is already open, it overrides it and the last opened database will replace the first one while working online with instant web publishing. Any idea how i can have more than one database opened via the web to work on several at the same time without loosing informati…

I'm making a database to appear in IWP, but I see that another of my databases also appears in the list and I don't want it in the list at http://someaddress/fmi/iwp/ In fact this database doesn't use IWP so it doesn't need to be in the list at all or accessible by IWP. I have made sure that no accounts or privilege sets are using IWP. How can make this database not appear?

The IWP documentation says "Arrange fields formatted as a checkbox set or radio button set with the value lists displayed horizontally for best results." How do I do that? At first I thought in my layout I would make it horizontal by restricting the box to be wider than tall, but that doesn't help. So there must be a more tricky way that I don't know how to do.

This is kind of an extension to http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/202503/ I work for a company whose employees work remotely. I'm using IWP to generate a printable timesheet report to get signed by supervisors. The problem is when printing from any web browser 2 or 3 pages are printed when only 1 is required- the actual timesheet page. I assume the web browser is printing empty frames. Is there any way to overcome this?

I have a db that is a collections of QT files. I view them in FM9 via a webviewer window ( great way to get round container limitations). It works very well. Yet to my surprise, the same viewing window via IWP is blank (see attached pix). Has anyone else had this issue? Is there any idea why?

Hi, I am trying to add an upload field to my website so people can upload files. For some reason it is not upload into the container on filemaker database. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance. Here is what I have now: form.php upload.php $create = new FX("129.0.0.1","80"); $create->SetDBData("upload.fp7", "Form"); $create->SetDBPassword('','Admin'); $create->AddDBParam('file1',$_POST[file1]); $createResult=$create->FMNew(); ?>

I’m trying to get a php website setup with Filemaker PHP Site assistant for filemaker 10, but have been having no luck. Here is what I have done/have thus far: Have windows server 2003 Filemaker Server 10 Filemaker Pro Advanced Client Database in Filemaker server setup for PHP Ran through the PHP Site assistant, and have the files in wwwroot folder I can access a directory of the files and can even access images that php site assistant generated, but the php pages come up with page cannot be found. I’m not sure how my IIS is setup or even what specific settings are needed, but I’m guessing this is the problem? I went through filemaker’s 62 page documen…

So I'm wondering if / why there are not many people doing this. If I have a FM database and I'm a decent .Net programmer, why not just set up an ODBC connection to the data base and start coding? Are there limitations that FM imposes?

Hi, We're developing our first PHP app using an existing database on Server 9.03.326. It's generally working well, but for one problem. The application is a simple form submission built with PHP Assistant. The PHP is running on a separate Web server from the Filemaker server. It's just an addrecord.php-->confirmation.php. Everything seems to be functioning correctly, but intermittently, it returns "Error is Null" in the browser on form submission, with no record making it to the database. Usually, going back to the form in the browser and resubmitting is then successful. The success rate seems to have improved after I removed all relationships to other …

I am using the session model and a portal to control navigation. The problem I am having is that if some changes a value that is displayed in the portal then anyone else navigating via that portal can't save changes and gets a message that "portal records have changed". What is more frustrating is that the second user(s) will lose their changes to the record they are working on even though it is a completely different record. Is there a setting to bypass this useless message?

I have a situation where folks are not logging out but closing their browser, then logging back in before the session times out only to find the record they were working on is locked until the session clears via time out. Is there a way to automatically close a user's open sessions while they are logging in?

First post. I don't use FM personally but my wife does so I'm asking this question for her. She's building a database and registration form for an event I am hosting. Assuming she knows how to create the database and layout how would she go about creating it in a form that can be added to my event website so participants can click on it and register, entering their information. Obviously, not all the participants would have FM! I just want them to be able to click and enter info that I can access at a later date in some useable form. Check out http://ringettedestination.com/tinc?key=oXatFH5s&formname=IndividualFull and http://ringettedestinatio…

I've only done 'passive' things with IWP, just reading information from a database. Never had people entering data from a web browser until now. At exactly what point does user input become part of the database? IOW, if you're working in FMP directly (not via IWP) and you enter data, it's pretty much instantly part of the database. If someone is on a web-enabled version of that page, does it work similarly? Is there a timeout or some other 'automatic' entering of the data? Basically I need to set up a system where a user can enter specific data (name, department, comments, etc) but I don't want that data to become part of the database until the user clicks …

Hi, I am testing out the PHP Site Assistant on my Windows 2008 and I am finding that one of calculation field is rendering blank or no data in the Site Assistant preview even though it has data in the database. The data is has in the database comes from a related database through a relationship. Is it not possible to display this data with the PHP site assistant or is there something else I need to do. I tried to enable PHP priveleges for both databases, but I am not sure why it won't display the data. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Shawn

The situation so far: I have a Filemaker database, which is always open on a desktop machine that is always turned on, at my office. The database has IWP enabled. When connected to the same network as this machine, I am able to access the database through my web browser on other machines. Here is what I am hoping to accomplish: I would like to somehow be able to take my laptop home, and access the same database live through my web browser from home (on a different network). I feel like this is probably very easy, but I have no experience in Filemaker or in network admin, so any help is appreciated. I am working with FM Pro 9 Advanced, and running Mac O…

Hi Guys, I am working on FM pro 10 advanced, I want to create a layout with a screen resolution of 1028 and 320 (320 is what Blackberry PDA’s use). How can I do this? with diff resolutions using FM and will it support on IWB? Thanks in advance.

I have built several scripts in my FM Pro 10 database, but when I access the database in IWP, I cannot see the command or icon for SCRIPTS.

[color:blue]Here's the background info: I started work on a contact db that I can access from an iPhone, or in fact from any browser while I am out of the office. So far I have been using Remote Desktop in XP which is fine for working from home but I needed something else that makes it a bit easier to access contact details for clients and suppliers while out on the road. AWith almost 3000 contacts I don't want to use the phone book on my iPhone. After reading a few topics here I have found out that IWP and iPhone are not a happy couple and perhaps there are better options. Despite this I thought I'd give it a go and I have found it to be quite OK for…

It is very very annoying when I try to use IWP with IE ! Many of the fields does not activate at all when clicking them. Especially, when the field is empty. Clicking the text usually works. Is there any cure for that ? In many places own software (for example FireFox) is not allowed by the IT admins, so changing the browser is not an option. Today I was demonstrating my solution and IE was in use. You can imagine, what happened... :-/

Hello, Im trying to get my database web enabled. What I'd like to know is if anyone out there uses the site assistant as the foundation and then adds there own custom code to make the page function exactly as they want. is the fmview.php file the same regardless of what layout you have generated the site for (im thinking of generating a site for about 10 tables, but I want to reuse the fmview.php file if its the same to avoid duplication ).

Greetings, I think I posted this to the incorrect conferene before. I am new to FM and IWP. I am having my sales reps use a FMPro 9 database via IWP. I have created an entry form for client information and have made several the fields "Required: Not Empty". While this works fine on the FMPro 9 software, when I load it up to our FMServer Adv 10 and come into it via the web it does not function the same way. I cannot tell you how frustrated my reps are that they spend the time to enter the data, go to submit it and then get an error message stating they left something out or it was entered worng. The part the destroys them is the form/layout no longer has the majority of …

Hi there, I have been trying to get a file upload script to work. I think the problem is with the file path of the destination. If this script is on the web server, and there is a folder called uploads, is that enough for the file path? Code follows: <?php if ((($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/gif") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/jpeg") || ($_FILES["file"]["type"] == "image/pjpeg")) && ($_FILES["file"]["size"] < 20000)) { if ($_FILES["file"]["error"] > 0) { echo "Return Code: " . $_FILES["file"]["error"] . " "; } else { echo "Upload: " . $_FILES["file"]["name"] . " "; echo "Typ…

I'm new to fx.php but I did get it to start working after much frustration. The first few layouts that I chose in my tests weren't working (FX: ExecuteQuery XML errors and others within the returned array). After I found a layout that worked I realized that it would only return an array without errors if I didn't have a related field on the layout. Does anyone know why?

Hello, I hope IWP is the right place for this. We have a layout where there is a scrollable selection portal on the left with a bunch of records and clicking on a row highlights that row and brings up the fields for that record in a panel to the right. Using IWP, when a user clicks a row in the portal, the record pops up fine but the web page is redrawn and the portal resets to the top often leaving the active record out of view further down the list. Not the end of the world but annoying for the user. Is there a simple fix for this? The only options I have come up with so far are to either do some sneaky sorting on the relationship so the se…

I have a script that performs a search and displays the results in a columnar list. it works great until I sort it by date. After that, about half of the records disapear. I have tried sorting from within the browser as well as through the script, same results. Any ideas?

I'm working with FileMaker Pro 9.0v3. I have a text field being used for a simple search feature in an IWP app. Basically, you enter a record ID # into the search field, then click the Search button, and it runs a script to load a different layout depending on the particulars of the record. This is all working fine. The problem is that in the IWP mode, pressing Enter while in the search text field will enter a carriage return, making it look like the record # you just typed in has disappeared, when it's actually just scrolled out of the textfield. I've looked, but have been unable to find a way to force the field to be single-line in Web mode. The second problem…

I would like a URL that makes multiple find requests where each request has multiple fields involved. In other words, I would like a find that results in: NameField=Mary and CategoryField=Teacher OR NameField=Steve and CategoryField=Student This would result in all records where Mary is a teacher or Steve is a student. I would have thought that the URL would be: ...&-Lop=AND&NameField=Mary&CategoryField=Teacher&-Lop=OR&NameField=Steve&CategoryField=Student&-find Of course the last -Lop takes over and this resulted in all records where NameField=Mary plus all records where NameField=Steve plus all records where Categor…

Until I have the time for PHP I'm stuck with IWP...and stuck I am. I have 3 locations that all have their own FM Adv 9 Servers. Using FM they can all share info and relationships work fine across the internet. IWP is active and works fine on each of the servers but using IWP they don't seem to "see" each other. Relationships across the three servers that work fine in FM don't show any of the data, just blank fields through IWP. I'm scouring all the IWP manuals I can find for info but am coming up empty. Thanks!

Hi there, I have a script which creates a new Filemaker record with automatically generated password. I want to grab the password from the DB and include it in an email that goes to the subscriber. Please see code below. After calling FMNew to create the new DB record and generate the password I have called FMFind to search for the record but I keep getting no records found so cant get the password from the DB to show in the email. Any assistance gratefully received. <?php include_once('FX/FX.php'); include_once('FX/server_data.php'); $firstname = $_POST['firstname']; $lastname = $_POST['lastname']; $email = $_POST['email']; $newsurvey…

Does anyone know why QT ref files don't work when published by IWP? Well ... they don't work for me and I can't find any doc confirming that they should work. Is there a work around? It seems others have the same problem but I don't get why FM does not let it work. What is the difference with jpg files? They work. All thoughts are welcome.

When I view my pages in IWP, it cuts off a lot of the data in the fields. I looked and saw that all the fields are at absolute positions, so I don't think a CSS is going to fix this. Some of the problems are small, it cuts off the bottom 10 percent of the radio buttons. But in some cases,there are whole lines of text that are underneath the next question. In one case, 4 of the 6 radio button selections are hidden under the next question. How can I fix this?

Happy Easter everyone! I am new to FM IWP and have been having troubles with layouts and navigation scripts for webusers of my database. I have suppressed the status bar so that web users have less access to the database, however I am having difficulties creating a script that would let them navigate through the records when these are more than 25. I would like to create scripts that would allow them to go back and forth in the found range of records. Moreover, I have noticed that when users search for some records and they come up with the list of the results, the script I am using to allow them to see once more all records in the database apart from t…

OK - i have IWP turned on, specified port 591. So when I go to 192.168.1.9:591 everything works fine. I disabled my software firewall (for testing purposes) and I forwarded port 591 to the 192.168.1.9 machine (I did that for TCP and UDP), but when i go to my static IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:591, I still get a 'broken link' (my static IP pings fine). I also tried forwarding port 80 to port 591 on said machine - also to no avail. Am I overlooking something? Any tips on how to further trouble shoot? BTW - I spent all that time to have a nice looking three dimensional layouts only to see my 'shaded areas' to be turned into white bars - anything that can be done to 'force' …

Hello ! Is it a bug or feature that when I access my solution over the IWP using IE7, some of the drop down list -fields does not activate until I click the border of the field. Some of the fields works perfectly. I have configured the fields "Select entire content in entry". Is there good manuals how to use IWP anywhere available ?

I've succeeded in getting quicktime videos to play using IWP via a "goto field" script step. However, now I'm running into a new issue. Once the video has started playing none of the buttons on the layout work until the video has completely loaded. If you can picture it, the video is playing and the progress bar is, well, progressing, as it buffers the entire video. As soon as the entire video has loaded all my buttons work again. Is there anyway to get around this. Maybe some kind of halt command on the video that would allow the user use the layout buttons again. Some of the videos are quite large and could result in the user having to wait several minutes (depending on…

I am trying to build an iPhone compatible web site, using the FMS 10 site assistant. Essentially it is a searchable list of Animals. After the user does a search, they get a list of found records. Each record includes a name, picture and short text field. I also have a field with an external link for more info. Example; http://fmforums.com) How do I make the field show up as a link allowing the user to open the link in a new page? Will I need to 'wrap' the field in tags? If so, then I need to trick the site assistant to leave it alone. Or do I need to monkey with the final php site? I am not scared of doing that, if I get a little guidance…

First of all, sorry if I describe this poorly, I have very little to no Filemaker experience. I have a client who uses a Filemaker database for ID badges. The database has a layout for a front and a back of the card. I have a read-only account setup that others use to access this, but they only want them to have access to the Front layout. Is this possible? If there's any way I can describe it better or give more info let me know, here's a picture of the layouts:

Is it a bug or just my incompetence, but I have 3 portals on a page. They are all set to be transparent but only 2 of those are transparent in IWP. In FM client all are ok.

IWP login and record access control The FM database is accessed via IWP over the WAN. The (proposed) login is via external server authentication. The need is to restrict the logged in user to just their own record. Clients (i.e. the user) login then access their own record in the Clients table. At no time should the logged in client, be permitted to access any other client's information. Is it possible to pass the external server authentication credentials (username/password) into the FileMaker database? If so a script could be used to deliver just the single client record. At the moment it seems as if a 2 stage login is inevitable. I am considering stori…

I have set the date format in the FM database that is being published and I have read elsewhere that the date format will follow the one that the sever has. I have checked on the database itself by using the sort command that everything is ok, but when it is published the dates are shown in the American mm/dd/yy format. P.S. I would like the date in dd/mm/yy format. How do I correct this? Thanks in advance, V.

Hi .. I am new to FMP ..well, scratch that .. I'm on the less experienced side of new .. My main job is managing the FMPro server and there in lies the problem. The server works fine .. clients connect and all is well. We have a couple IWP DBs ... "look up" type things that have been growing popular. They were working and all of a sudden I go to hit the page and get a Page not found. I look in the console and start & stop IWP and that seems to think all is OK... but I cannot access anything via IWP. SOOOO ... the question to you knowledgeable type is can anyone steer me toward more info on IWP? The console sort of says "turn it on, turn it off" ... there…

I love the FM10 IWP interface, since I last used version 4 and CDML. I am stumped and haven't found an answer- please help. Client will use this solution on a computer using FM10 and a few people will access it via Safari for adding and editing records. There are 6 tables of related data. Approx 5 portals which I would love to have all on one page, but is really slow simply going into the edit page. FileMaker solution works great. I have full access set up. Problem is not all fields are editable on one layout.I created a spreadsheet to track what is editable on which layout. All are editable on at least one layout... My question is what determines whether a …

Hello, I currently have a very simple script that sends mail through smtp. When I trigger the script through IWP on the hosted fm10 server no emails are sent. When I trigger the script through File -> Open Remote through filemaker it works fine. If I download my database, host it locally through iwp it works fine (using 10.0.0.x ip). Unfortunately we go through a third party hosting service for our FM server and I'm not sure if there's any kind of settings they need to setup. I emailed them but they pretty much told me to contact fm support. Does anyone have any ideas? Is it possible that their server is not configured correctly? A port blockin…

I use IWP for various applications, where I do not wish to use the standard database selection web page. So that is replaced by a custom HTML page that sends the user to a special info page. But I wish to use direct URLs to various databases that are IWP enabled, by using: http://mydomainname.com/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=MyDatabase&-loadframes That works fine, BUT: it seems that the "Open" script specified in the "File options..." menu item does NOT execute. So I have no way of initializing various globals, I need to use. One application is used from both FileMaker AND IWP, and I wish to go to a special layout when invoked via IWP - Get( ApplicationVersion) woul…

I have a number of independant agent who have websites. I provide them with a link to a IWP "opener file" which will open our main IWP file and pass which agent number it came from. ie. Agent "A" opens in IWP a_open.fp7 which passes Agent "A" to our main file Agent "B" opens in IWP b_open.fp7 which passes Agent "B" to our main file Is there another way to pass any information so we can do away with the opener files?

Hello, Hoping to get some feedback on a project we're working on. My company is currently building a Filemaker application for our own business use. We would like to eventually offer this program to other businesses, but would like to do it without having to sell Filemaker Licenses. Is it possible to create a Filemaker Application, host it using Filemaker Server Advanced, and then use a flex application downloaded by our customers to access the Filemaker Server database? Hope this makes sense. Any assistance will be appreciated! Regards, David

I've just upgraded my system to FMS10 advanced and am having serious problems with the php site assistant. To be brief, it is not producing a usable set of pages whereas the old site assistant in FMS9 advanced did. Drop-down menus don't work, add record doesn't give any enter buttons or even the set of fields selected and so on. This is a disaster for me as I rely on the site assistant, clunky though it is, to generate the basic pages which I then edit in dreamweaver. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot this, or guidance on an alternative way of generating the site would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, George

can I reference an image that sites for example on http://www.mydomain.com/images/xx.jpg in a container field? and if so, would the path in the container look like this: image:/http://www.mydomain.com/images/xx.jpg ?? or is there something i am overlooking? thanks

I want the editrecord.php file that is installed with site assistant to automatically call the user's record.

Hello ! In IWP the number of lines in list view is restricted to 25 rows. Why just 25 ? It is difficult to make a calendar solution where each row represent one day of month. 31 would be easier as you can imagine... Is there any way to get around this limitation ?

Hey everyone, my first post to this excellent site, all the way from sunny New Zealand! I'm learning FM Pro 10 and want to use IWP to share a list of Quicktime movies to someone. I have inserted them in containers, and the actual .mov files are in the Web folder of Filemaker as instructed by the IWP Guide. Two things 1) It seems clunky to have to drag files into the Web folder (or copy them and double the space they use) to use them with IWP. 2) On testing my file, I can connect thru the FM home page, see my file, open it, see the list, but the containers are empty. I searched for answers on this but found nothing. Look forward to your help..…

Hello, When trying to create a new site using the PHP Site Assistant, the option to "Prompt user for authentication when accessing site" is greyed out, and it uses the build-in guest account by default.

im using http://domain:591/fmi/iwp/ which works find for all the places I have tested. But for some uses the link doesnt work. Maybe its a firewall issue. Is there somewhere I can change the port or some other solution. thanks

I've been able to get my quicktime movie to play over IWP by putting the .mov file in the web directory. However, when it plays, it does so at full resolution instead of shrunk down to the size of the container field (as it does when veiwing the layout from within FM). I am only able to see the top left portion of the video. I suppose I could go back and edit the video file to fit that size frame, but is there any way to have it resized automatically?

Does one user logged in to more than one database count as one or more towards the maximum of 100 IWP clients FileMaker Server Advanced can host? We have several databases set up in a two-file configuration, one interface file and one data file that the interface file treats as a data source. When a user logs into the interface file and the data file also opens, does this count as one client session or two towards the 100 maximum?

I want a web user to access a database and only see a newly created record (a questionnaire). I dont seem to be able to get this to work with startup scripts. Is it possible??? thanks

I'm considering implementation of an IWP solution. I've never used IWP before, having always either shared a filemaker file over a local network, or creating a web solution via lasso. This db includes a list of local farmers who would be able to edit their own record. In a lasso solution, each of their records would have user and pass fields. It is not clear to me how this works in IWP. Would all users access the db initially with the same user/pass and then enter their personal user/pass that would be passed into a script that would find their personal record for editing? Seems like there's some new challenges to achieve easy navigation and security at the s…

Are there any new features in FMP10 or FM Server 10 that are relevant to IWP? In other words, is IWP better in version 10?

Hey everyone, I was recently assigned a client who has an existing filemaker database and they want it published via the web. Go easy on me i've hardly touched this stuff before I was able to get IWP working, when I brought it up it showed a very old database which we've removed from the server all-together. However, the new database that I uploaded to Filemaker server refuses to show up under the IWP site. I have IWP enabled everywhere I can find it, is there somewhere that i'm missing or what is required to make it appear?

Hi, I'm a total beginner when it comes to FileMaker and programming in general and I would like to know if it's possible to import a list of of emails who have subscribed into a FM database and then exportning them back to the Campaign Manager service by using their API? I have tried to import the data fby using XML but it wass giving me an error as it was a SOAP type connection. Thank you and I will greatly appreciate your help.

Created a database in which showing related records with portals.Earlier relationship was having one condition and portal is working fine in FileMaker as well as in PHP with getRelatedset(). I did some changes in database and now showing related value in portal which is having more than one condition in relationship.This is also working fine in FileMaker but could not able to work in PHP.Now i could not able to retrieve and data in the portal with getRelatedset() function of FM PHP API.Please suggest something.

I have Filemaker Pro 10 Advanced installed on Windows Vista Business - but I cannot share databases with IWP due to port conflicts. 'netstat -an' shows that the ports I am trying to use are available. I can use netcat to bind listeners to the port I am trying to use, so the port is definitely available. I then added the Filemaker directories to my AV exclusion set, added the FileMaker and FileMakerWebPublishing exes as 'web browser' to my AV setup, with 'exclude' from protocol checking. Finally I tried with the firewall, antivirus and antispyware disabled. Still no joy. The same FM Pro Advanced 10 install on a windows XP (same antivirus) works fin…

I would like different users logging in to my solution to only be able to see their certain records based on their account name. Is there an elegant way to do this, so even if they perform a find, it only finds results from within their own records? Any help gratefully received

G5 tower, 10.5.5 fully patched, FMP 9.0v3. I open a single database, turn on IWP, click the OK button, and FMP crashes. This happens consistently, nothing seems to help. Has anyone else encountered this and found a solution?

I have a potential client, who wishes to use IWP to publish a database that allows agency staff to log in and record the months, days in the month, and times and other criteria about which days and times they are available to work. Parallel to this there is another module that provides for the institutions who require staff to fill particular rosters, to login and record what sites/days/ times/shifts etc and level of staff they require. The client then matches up the available staff to the institutional requirements, in order to fill rosters. I have always been under the impression that IWP was not an appropriate implementation for this kind of situati…

Button woes! I am having a terrible time getting Firefox to work well in IWP using FMPro 9 Advanced as a client server. Some buttons work (the icon changes to a hand over the button), but others do not work (the icon does not change, nor does clicking the button do anything whatsoever). All buttons have been "brought to Front". IE7 seems to work with all buttons, but Firefox (2.x) does not, with no rhyme or reason. Havinging similar issues with Safari. Javascript is turned on. Is this a bug?

(Please note that my solution is still in its testing phase, and that when I say something works a certain way, it has not yet been fully implemented) This solution is part of an order shipping problem. Here are the facts. When one of the salesman creates an order, all the items on that order are placed on a list to pull the items on the order out of the warehouse. This list is shown on a held device running Opera, using IWP. Since orders can be very large, it's possible that many people will be pulling a single order at the same time. Each item on the order is it's own record, which are shown one at a time for the user as he or she pulls the item. Cu…

I have read and tried to figure out for myself, but must be missing something obvious... I IWPed using FM Pro 10 Trial, which I was assured had no limitations. I can access via browser by ISP from originating computer, as well as from non-originating laptop (granted, they both use the same wireless internet connection), but my test person trying to access from their computer, can't access at all. Can someone shove me in the right direction to fix?

Hello, I just wanted to share a little trick i ran across. Even though filemaker 9 and above can have google maps in a web viewer, sometimes it is more desirable to have it open a map in a separate web browser page. Here is what I did to get address info to load into google maps: I created a text field with the following calculated value, where VenueAddress2, VenueCity, and VenueState are fields from an address database. When you do an openURL script it brings you to a hybrid view of the address in a new browser window. "http://maps.google.com/maps?q=" & VenueAddress2 & "+" & VenueCity & "+" & VenueState & "&t=h&iwloc=A&h…

We are using Windows Mobile 2003 and Opera Mobile 8.65 to access IWP on Filemaker Server Advanced 9.0. We are using Symbol PDT8146 portable bar code reading computers running Windows Mobile 2003 for a Warehouse Management System. It is working great in our 4 wireless connected warehouses. We set the bar code reader to send a TAB and RETURN after reading a bar code (slot# or item#) so the bar code is read into the field and then the TAB moves focus to a button where the RETURN runs a Filemaker script. It also works on cell phones running Opera 8.65 on Windows Mobile 2003 (no bar code scanning). Does anyone have any experience with Opera Mobile 8.65 on Windows …

Is there a way to login to IWP without going to the filemaker iwp login page and do a direct login from any other location? Thanks.

Hello all, I have a database that I use to run a small manufacturing business. I have a complete history of our production, and I'd like to give access to some of this information to a couple of my largest customers via the web. How can I give them access to only the records that pertain to them? I have set up an account with privileges for one customer, but all the fields say no access, and all the records are available. I'd like to set it up so that when one of them logs in, they can only see records pertaining to them, using the customer ID# I imagine. What am I missing? Thanks, MVC

I've setup a client to run a few different dbs via IWP. Both work fine via WAN. However, within the LAN, one of them works fine and the other will through up an error: "Bad Request: The server could not process your request because your session has time out, been closed, or communication with the server has been lost." I'm completely stumped as to what setting would allow one to work within the LAN but not the other while allowing both to work from a WAN just fine. Any suggestions greatly appreciated! --- FMSA 9 running on an XServe (OS: 10.4)

In FMP 8, IWP doesn't support Preview Mode. (For example, to have a person generate a report with subsummaries and then print the whole thing.) Has this changed in FMP 10? Is there a technical reason this can't be done? Does this work in FMP10 Advanced? Server?

We just purchased Server 10A for our agency. The boss wants to start putting more and more of our agency work on the FM server so the employees can access it from home etc. as we are starting to let more and more people work from home to save time gase etc. The problem is that we have over 250 employees and in theory more than 100 could try to connect at a one time. I know that IWP will not work if more than 100 attempt to connect, I would like to know what solution we can use to allow more connections if needed. Thanks, Jim

This happens every couple of weeks. Easy enough to deal with as the email alert sends the following message, and you just need to hit the button on console to turn it back on. Any idea what kind of problems this could indicate? (FYI; it's another department's solution using IWP, so I can't speak to the features of that database). [color:blue]FMS ERROR wpe1 Some problems were detected in the WPE COMPONENT: COMPONENT IS NOT RESPONDING.

I run an internet directory where users are allowed to search a database and then sort their search results by either of three fields labeled description, location and contact. The search works fine but when they choose to sort by location, the list truncates itself. For example, a search produces 10 results, not sorted by location; clicking on sort by location will reduce the list to maybe 5 or 6 results that are now sorted, but missing 4 or 5 records.

After defining a date field, defining a layout with an edit box and a drop-down calendar, and generating a site with FMSAPHPSA 10, I hoped to see a drop-down calendar edit box appearing in IE7. No joy!

Site generated from locally hosted FMS9A PHPSA works like a hose on the machine where it's hosted. That is, the FMP9 database, the FMS9A server, and the PHPSA are all on the very same machine and everything works like a clock. Take code generated for your site and move it to a different host, and you'll find it's missing the statement, like $fm->setProperty('hostspec', '02.fmgateway.com');

Hello, I'm new and am a little stumped on the IP address issue I have with an instant web published file. Do I need the router/modem address from Time Warner to access off base? I can definitely access on the LAN but I need to be able to use the file from wherever. None of the help files I have read have given me a definitive answer and I'm looking to you. Can you help me out? Thanks

Hi there, I have a date variable called $issue_date which echoes as standard date DD/MM/YYYY. I want the date to echo as the month and the year only and the month must displayed be in words (eg January not 01). Can anyone help? All advice gratefully received. Cheers, Steven

(I would think this topic has been covered somewhere in this forum, but my keyword searches must be lackluster. This question has also been posted in another thread that had started dealing with a much different concept - but, I thought that this specific question would be better served in this forum.) I have a portal that includes a graphic button in each row, that when selected, adds a parameter to a global field and, conditionally formats the portal row. When clicked again, it removes the parameter from the global and reformats the field. It's beautiful. If multiple rows are selected, multiple parameters are added to the global field. This obviously only wo…

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible to have objects center/ resize themselves in a web browser using IWP? I have IWP producing a webpage that can be found here: http://71.128.99.116/fmi/iwp/cgi?-db=FNTECH%20Inventory&-loadframes I would love to have the objects stay in the middle of the browser window as the browser is resized. I have tried removing all anchors and just placing anchors on the left and right of objects, but no luck. thanks! FNTECH

Hello, Can anyone help? I am trying to test IWP. If I use http://10.0.0.1:591, I will get the IWP page and can run the the application. But if I replace 10.0.0.1 with my IP , then it times out. Should I be able to use my IP to test on my computer or will I have to go to another sites computer ? Thanks in advance

On a single host, I have two shared databases. Both of which are open and running. One of the databases has a value that looks up the related data from the other database. Within a filemaker client, the lookup works beautifully. If I try to call the same data, from IWP however, the lookup fails. Is there a way to force the remote lookup to work in IWP? (a script step, perhaps?)

I have a simple database with a client to quote relationship. The fields in the quote section I have using the looked-up value. They work great in file on my computer. But when hosted with IWP, the selected client in the pull-down menu is selected, the fields, address, city, state zip, etc.. are not propigating like in the main file on my computer. I have check and used the commit record script (seen on another forum) and still no luck. Anyone with an idea of what I may be missing, please help.

Dear Community I´d like to use IWP for a solution that I already have, is not my first time using IWP but the last time that I use it was with version 6 and in that time I prefered to use Lasso insted of IWP, right know I need to upload my solution to the web for my client but I don't know if come back to IWP, Lasso or PHP. PHP is totally new for me, but seems to be a good option (I saw some interesting things in FMwebschool) could you tell me which is the most convenience way to start and where or which tutorial?, the main feature to use on the web for my solutiuon is for consulting reports not so much for adding record or delete them. Right now I´m using…

Hello, I'm wondering if someone can help me how to calculate a time interval on Filemaker Pro. This is the problem: I have two dates and I want Filemaker Pro to calculate how many weeks there are between those two dates. I've tried it a few different ways, but I'm obviously doing something wrong because I get weird numbers every time. Help! Thanks!

I am new to IWP, so I appreciate having a place to ask questions. I have an IWP page that starte with a New Record Request. The user then inputs data and then presses "Submit." Based upon the information in the new record after it is submitted, different things are suppose to happen. However, nothing happens. It is as if the entire script to update the record is never even run. I have made sure to include a Commit Record command. What is wierd, is that at the end of the submit script, I also have a single line to change to a completely different view that isn't based on anything the users inputs, but that doesn't even happen. For troubleshooting, I have a c…
