Are there detailed Error Codes for Webassistant? I'm getting Evaluate 1212 and 106 errors on an old script that used to work and I'm looking for a way to trouble-shoot it. Thanks.

We've been using the Plastic plug-in for about a week. The version we are using is .82 but I just notice that they updated recently for filemaker 12, so I am going to install that now, however, if this is not a version problem, here is what happened: We are using FileMaker 12 and so far, we've been able to figure out and provide users with feedback when an error occurs. We got a java error ( of which the exact nature I can't tell you because I didn't take a screenshot ) but it contained something like java.something.something in the reference, which I'm guessing is pointing to a specific issue with a java applet? Anyways, the plug-in thre…

Can someone try putting info on any of the Body Part fields in the attached form? The check boxes works fine, I just need to pass 1 or 2 and the value would be automatically checked. Have no problems writing on text fields. But for some reason Scribe won't write on the Drop down boxes. I extracted the fields first so I know which one but still won't work. Can some help me please. Thanks.

Certain of our PDF's ERROR when uploaded via Scribe. How do we avoid such errors and/or how do we know in advance what type of PDF's work? I have uploaded a sample to 360Works site, but I have not heard back. (Since it's company data, I'm not at liberty to post gobally)

Hi, I've copied and changed the sample script "Extract Field" to "Extract Excel Copy" as in the attached Filemaker 12 file, but keep getting an error in the second dialog box. The script works fine when I copy the file to the container, and I only have issues when the file is in the same directory as the Filemaker file - it passes the first error check If($loaddocs = "ERROR"), but stumbles on the If[$Val = "ERROR"] , giving the error "Name must not be empty". Thanks for your help. Al

I need to send data streams to a non-FileMaker server that can receive TCP or UDP data streams on whichever port. Is that essentially what RemoteScripter is doing to communicate between machines? Could it be used as such without a FileMaker "listener" on the other end? Or maybe I'll just have to "roll my own" with ScriptMaster (if that's possible)? I'm slightly beyond my depth when it comes to networking technologies...and Java ;-) Thanks, Howard

I just upgraded to FM pro advanced 12, copied the Scribe plug-in to the extensions directory and it shows up in the preferences menu as enabled, but I don't see any evidence of Scribe in the manage scripts area - am I missing something? I have the latest Flash installed on Win 7 64 Bit.

Hi - I just downloaded the trial version of Scribe, and am trying to figure out how I could use it to create a single document containing data from multiple records in the database. I plan to gather the info I need to report into a virtual list, with each record containing fields Line01 through Line10. So I would create corresponding fields in the word document. But, if I have 100 records, how do I write each record into the same document? I guess it's like mail merge in word, but I'm not sure how to accomplish this using Scribe. Thanks for any feedback, Tom

Hi, FMS11v3, SafetyNet 1.2 This was configured by something else and I can see the backups making it to the S3 bucket. But when I launch the admin page through the 8030 port I can not log in with an account that lets me into the regular FMS admin console. The same setup works on two other machines. The account that I use for the admin console is part of the local fmsadmin group and FMS is properly configured to use the fmsadmin group (otherwise I wouldn't be able to log in). Any thoughts on what to try? Is there any stored setting somewhere that I can wipe out. I don't mind reconfiguring SafetyNet if I have to. Thanks & best regards, Wim

OK. I've downloaded the Scribe demo and I want to output filemaker data fields into my word document. I've duplicated the sample script for ScribeDocSubstitute (search string;replace string). but, only a handful of 12+ fields actually get their values replaced on the word doc output. (docx) The rest, contain the original search string and no new values. I've torn the source doc and my code apart and cannot see why some work and others don't. I've even made the strings no more than five alpha characters and one number long with no spaces. Any help out there? This should be much easier. One thing I've noticed is that sometimes if I slightly alter the search string - li…

Hi, I am looking for ways to update a HTML file stored in a container field. Could Scribe be okay to handle the search and replace? I am trying to update a html file stored in a container field by using the Scribe plugin. Would this be possible. Thanks, Oliver

I have a problem. We have a review form that needs to be filled out. It is locked because of the calculations. However, they can still be filled out and saved by the user (the user just can’t alter the form structure). Scribe can’t fill them out…I get an error, I guess because they can’t be uploaded without a password (which we don’t have…corporate thing)? Should scribe be able to write to edible form fields regardless? Or am I missing some simple fix? Thanks if anyone has a solution. TEST_ManagementForm_tme.pdf

If I setup a backup schedule for SafetyNet which involves some large files and the backup schedule also verifies the files, how does SafetyNet know when the backup schedule has finished and it can safely compress the files and upload etc? The backup schedule can take around 15 minutes and with SafetyNet running every 5 minutes automatically I'm concerned it might start to process files that haven't been completely written and/or are still being verified by FileMaker Server. Just curious more than anything.

A client has a word document (see attached sample) that has responses to questions. They use a 'dingbat' font to show a selection box (Ballot Box). When selected the document has the 'ballot box with check' character. ie a square with a tick in it. Scribe returns the 'ballot box', 'ballot box with check' & 'ballot box with x' as a left bracket "(". Can this be changed to return the appropriate characters or characters to distinguish the difference? Word Tick Box.doc.zip

Will the Plastic plugin process ACH transnactions or can one use something like FTPeek to send a file to a bank (assuming they have some sort of API)? does anybody have experience with this?

I am using Scribe to write data to an Excel template that I've loaded into a container field. Unfortunately, while the first write works fine, subsequent writes seem to be overwriting the cell formatting, putting it back into the Verdana font and elimination word wrap, centering, cell colors, etc. Has anyone else seen this issue?

My SafetyNet backup script ran yesterday - on schedule. SafetyNet offsite backup also succeeded shortly after that. Since then, however, I have received 10 emails from [email protected] with the subject "1 offsite backup(s) succeeded" when the files in the SafetyNet folder hasn't changed. In other words SafetyNet seems to be executing when the files in the SafetyNet folder haven't changed. Another curious fact is that the emails only reference 1 of the 6 files that are actually in that folder. I have rebooted the machine and the problem continues. Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard, FMS 11.0.3.309. Any tips would be most appreciated. Thank you.

I have been using Web Services Manager for a long time successfully but as the number of users has grown, I have started getting reports of bugs so I thought it was time to update.

Apple just released an update 6 for Java and I'm having a problem with Filemaker crashing as soon as you pull up a layout with Supercontainer on it. The problem is only showing up on Mac OS 10.6 and 10.7, and nothing yet reported for PC's. It appears that this version of Java is not compatible with Supercontainer 2.83. I've tried downgrading SC to 2.74, which has always worked in the past, but it still crashed. The only way I can get any functionality back is to turn the applet off, thereby bypassing Java. I'm stumped. I've searched for Java Update 5, but it seems that as soon as Apple posts a new version, the old one is gone forever. Any help wou…

I read on these forums that the Windows version of Word is necessary to add Content Controls to a Word document. Word 2011 on the Mac has the ability to add "Text box", "Check box", "Combo box" from the Developer tab. Isn't this the same thing? If so, I'm wondering how a field is identified by Scribe. Under Word options for the field, is the "Bookmark" the same thing as the field name in Scribe? I don't see an example file in the Scribe Demo that extracts data from a Word form, only from PDFs and Excel sheets. Does someone have an example of this?

I am using WebServices Manager 1.5 on Windows Server 2008, IIS7, FMS 11.0.3. I am experiencing the issue (documented in the WebServices Manager documentation) where IIS is returning a stock HTML error 500 page whenever a SOAP fault occurs or whenever I attempt to use the WebServices feature to return a layout called "WebSvcMgrError". The 360Works documentation says to "disable this feature" in IIS. Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be that straightforward. I've googled and found this potential fix: http://forums.iis.net/t/1146653.aspx but before I go to this extreme (and potentially break things on this shared server) I wanted to know if others have found a so…

I'm interested in the possibility of using RemoteScripter for PDF report generation from IWP. Does anyone have any design tips on how to setup a good system to make this work with complex reports? I will need to have a lot of different reports available, many of which will have complex scripts that need to run to get the right data showing. The example in the RemoteScripter documentation is pretty simplistic. It seems to be only passing one parameter from IWP into the FileMaker Pro client. Does anyone have a tip on how to pass multiple parameters from IWP, then run a potentially long and complex script followed by a sort, then finally generate the PDF? And then how …

Hi, I have a strange problem. I load an empty excel doc from a containerfield. The loadDoucment is succesfull. Then I write some text and numbers to specific cells in the excel doc with ScribeDocWriteValue . At the end of my script I write the excelfile to a file on disk with ScribeDocSaveFile(get(documentPath)&"testxxx.xlsx") ( xxx is variable so I never overwrite existing file ). This all works fine the first time. I can open de saved file with excel without problem, and all my values are there. If I run the the same script again there are still no errors from scribe. But if I open the resulting excel file Excel gives me an error, stating that there are e…

I would like to confer with a developer (for a modest fee) by phone and email who is very familiar with Remote Scripter regarding how to implement a customer requirement I have. Requirement: A commercially hosted (FMS 11) file is accessed by multiple users who need to produce a certain PDF report. Our commercial FM hosting service disallows local PDF generation on their server, so I have set up a remote host (FM 11) at a fixed IP address that I want to generate the PDFs. The primary file (on FMS 11 host) runs a script that calls a script on the secondary server that imports a found set of records from the primary file, saves them to variably-named PDF on the sec…

Hello, My company just started using Remote Scripter from 360works. Clever product. Is it possible to redirect the "Success" result to a specific URL page when launching the remote scripter call from outside of FileMaker? Or to rephrase this question, "Can I build a custom URL that calls remote scripter and then have the returned successful result show a custom web page? If this is not a current feature. Can it become one? Thanks, Charlie

I thought the latest version of Scribe included support for XLS files but it appears not to be the case? Are not all .xls files the same vintage? I have an issue where we are downloading files from a third party vendor and the file name is base36 gibberish and the value inside the xls file on the first few cells would provide the ample data needed to rename the file - this task alone would save about an hour a day. I know on the pc and around the web I had seen some xls to xlsx converters is there any chance that Scribe could provide this same feature of being able to convert the xls file so that it can be read - with out relying on any other software,…

Hallo members from 360 works, I have a problem with the import from 4000 wordfiles. Filemaker itself can not import word to a textfile or an container. How do you do that without the supercontainer plugin? I only want to import the text of word 2007 files (without content controllfields). After parsing, I want do generate wordfiles from the Filemakerdatabase by script using a template. I hope I can do that in this way. Please tell me the right way. Your documentation does not help my in this way. Henryk IBe-Meinhardt from Hamburg Germany

I am currently evaluating Scribe for updating variable content in Word 2010 Docs using Content Controls and ScribeDocWriteValue. All seems to work well except that when I view the resultant Word Doc, the fonts applied to the Content Controls have been changed to Futura Light, a font that I do not even have on my PC. I have tried applying Styles to the Content Control Properties, I have also tried removing Styles and selecting all of the text in the source Word Doc and changing it to the font of my choice, but the Scribe-produced Word Doc always has Futura Light used for the substituted Content Control text. Static items in the Doc remain in the correct font. (Note that th…

I have been experimenting with thsi plug in to build a full text searching tool. I used Scribe to extract the text of the documents based on the url. I would then search the records for hits using Filemaker finds. Once this found set was retrieved I wanted to use the ScribeHighlight function to highlight the text. The first thing I was trying to solve was whether there was a function/method to take my FileMaker search critiera and convert it into a plain language expression to be used by the Scribe Highlight. For example if I was searching in FileMaker for, "brad chase" gates , could I get this converted into brad+gates|gates which could be used by the …

This may sound silly but I'm quite confused... How do I make an IWP user select the printer they want and print from wherever they are without sending the request to the machine running the port? In other words, If I have a script that runs a Print setup command, the print command will show in the filemaker running the port, but not to the iwp user. Is it possible for the iwp user to select the printer and print from where they are? Sorry if I sound confusing. Thanks in advance.

Using iText and Scriptmaster, these multiple attachments are then combined in to one single attachment and sent via Filemaker.

Unfortunately the source files are a mix of PD…

I have a PDF form that I have made and set the security settings to be able to be edited and saved in Acrobat Reader. I have tested it and it works fine.

When the client opens this in Acrobat reader after it has been personalised they get an error that says this file has been modified and can't be saved. Is there a way around this? Thanks.

Based on what I've seen on the 360works website and on this forum, I think I can do it. We have a vendor that generates RTF files. We're happy with about 95+% of what comes out of the system. As it's essentially always the same issues, I was thinking Scribe would do the trick. We need to do the following: 1. Start with the RTF file. (These will always be called something different. We can put each RTF in the same subdirectory to make the first part easier.) 2. Replace certain phrases (there will be more than 20) with phrases of our own. As an illustration, but not a real example -- "Thou Shalt" is replaced with "they will" and "Next preceding" is replac…

Since it seems Scribe can only access XLSX files and not XLS it would be great if there were some function that would be able to batch process and convert the files so it could be processed. i have googled and found many third party converters out there but would love for something built in, so the workflow would be seamless.

I wonder if this is just me or more widespread. OS X 10.6.7. I am writing tan separated (char(9) data into a variable. When I view the data in the Dataviewer the lines appear to split as though there were a linefeed in one of the data fields. The data can be copied out from the Data Viewer and pasted into Excel or TextWrangler where it looks quite normal. I spent a fair bit of wasted time recoding the substitute out any pilcrows but found it made no difference as that does not appear to to be the problem.

I have used Scribe for number of PDf reading projects but am now dipping into pushing data to Word 2008 on OS X. Some background... Client has had an iApp developed that loads data from word docs files. All the formatting is handed in those documents - I gather the developer simply loads them into the back-end of the iApp and they display onscreen. The iApp is a management tool with a great deal of reference material. The Word docs are formed as tables - first row is two cells - title and an image (these are generally references to books). The second row is a rather large cell with bulleted points, generally bolded etc. The third row is similar to row 2. …

"Scribe can find and replace text in Microsoft Word documents (Word 2007 or later). You can use this to create customized documents from templates in Word.

Is this Windows only? Are "Content Controls" also known as...?

is there a way for a plug-in to measure user inactivity? I want to have a script be able to run only if the user is not currently using the database, such as refreshing the layout so that new information is displayed.

I've followed the install instructions to the letter (not exactly rocket-science) and when opening http://myserver:8180 am challenged for a username and password. Not matter what I enter here (administrator, workgroup\administrator, [email protected] and the admin password) I get directed to a page that simply says "Internal Error" with a link to go to home page.

The firewall service on our FileMaker server is disabled and the same thing happens whether using the browser on the server or another node on the network. Suggestions please?

I've just found out about the Scribe plug-in and am wondering if the plug-in is appropriate for creating better looking Excel reports (similar to what custom reports can look like when saving PDFs out of FileMaker) than the basic Excel output Filemaker generates with just columns of data with no formatting or positioning control over data? Some of my customers have requested our reports in Excel format instead of PDF. Is Scribe the answer for this or should I look elsewhere? FYI, the reports are not always the same (columns can be selected and deselected at will), so I would literally need to write data to every cell to mimic what our report looks like as a PDF. …

This happens regardless on Windows OS version: AutoUpdate successfully recognizes a need for the new version on the server and starts the update process. The plugin is placed in the appropriate Extensions folder for the OS. Instead of moving the older plugin to the \Saved folder within the Extensions folder, it leaves it where it was and renames the new plugin 360Works_pluginname.fmx.new. All other plugins from other vendors work as advertised. Please help with this.

What are the limitation of the ScribeDocReadValue function with Word documents? ie why are the contents of some tags truncated? I gather this function doesn't work with tags in text boxes or tables. Are there any illegal characters that cause issues? Is the length of the string limited? I have the latest Scribe plugins but when I use the ScribeDocReadValue on tags with a few paragraphs I only get bits of the text. Anywhere from one to 10 words etc.

When I try to extract fields that are in a table inside Word with Scribe I get an Error message 'Cannot resolve value for tag:...'. Trying to write to fields inside a Word table corrupts the Word document. Word says it has problem with the content. I can't see anything in the forum or documentation to say you can't do this. Are tables not supported in Word by Scribe?

If a Word file has tags that ScribeDocReadValue is suppose to extract data from, are the contents of these tags not extracted when the ScribeFileAsText is used on the document?

I was wondering - is it possible to create empty additional sheets in an xslx document, using Scribe? The documentation says that you can create new cells, but seems to imply that you can't create new sheets - but it's not mentioned explicitly. Also, if it's xml, if I knew how many sheets I needed to start with, could I create an empty xlsx sheet, and then have scribe populate it?

Hi all, I would like to grab the text from a word doc and insert it into a field. I know that Scribe can do this for a container, but I'm not using containers for my documents. Instead, I use a stored filepath, file name, and extension to create a URL for OpenURL. I've tried building a script where ScribeDocLoad (filepath & file name & ext ) but it comes up with an error. Am I attempting the impossible?

Will the Plastic plug-in's ability to process Paypal transactions be affected by the upcoming Paypal data center move on March 18, 2011 and related IP address changes? Paypal alerted us that "To ensure your Payflow Pro transaction processing resumes appropriately post-migration; please check your integration and/or network configuration. If your integration and/or network configuration has hard coded PayPal’s IP addresses, please go to https://www.x.com/view-blog-post.jspa?blog=1983&blogPost=4500 for more information on the new IP addresses, the planned data migration of our applications, and the scheduled migration timelines."

I have an error in an example script to fill a field in pdf document "write to a field in a document". when I clicking Fill in field there is a message "com.lowagie.text.exceptions.IllegalPdfSyntaxException: Unbalanced save/restore state operators." It's on my Mac with FM advanced. How I can correct it?

Hello all, I just discovered the free plugins from 360 by downloading scriptmaster, as I was looking for a way for fm to capture a photo taken from a webcam (logitech quickcam zoom)to be put straight into a container field. I didn't find that, but I saw the "move or rename file", so I thought I could place a button above my container field that would rename & move the picture I just took, then go to the container field & insert picture with the new name. But I cant get move or rename to work, keeps coming back with a 0 (error), both after I register the function & make a script to call it or just trying it out in scriptmaster (by clicking green …

Hello everybody, I'm just evaluating this great plugin on Mac to populate Word 2008 documents (contracts and letters) but I can't seem to create the required placeholder /tag fields within Word... in other words they are not correctly recognized by the plugin. The manual is lacking support on this so I tried creating them using the Bookmark function and the Mail Merge function too but the ScribeDocListFields function keep showing "Error". Is there something I'm missing or is the plug maybe designed to work with docs created with Word 2007 on Windows only? I've been able to accomplish pretty much what I wanted to using the other function "ScribeDocSub…

I'm using a .docx document with control elements, populating the fields just fine in bulk, things are working well. The issue I'm having trouble with is the checkbox control elements, which appear to be RTF control elements with some special checkbox behaviour that appears to possibly be based on active elements from within word. I've experimented a bit, and while I can certainly put my own text in to get it to show boxes or not, doing so eliminates the checkbox action on the control element, it drops to just a plain RTF element. Is there any known way to 'insert' the checked or notchecked of a checkbox control element without losing this? Attempting to 'read' a…

I am trying to save an Excel form I have written to onto my desktop. I keep getting an error using Desktop file path. It is trying to save it to the temp path and then the desktop path. The error message is:"Could not create parent directory for file 'C:\Users\BCS\AppData\Local\Temp\c:\test\xlsx'" The only way I can save the document is by using the ScribeDocSaveFile("") which saves to my Temp location. Typing the full Temp location as it is also gives me an error. Is there anything I am missing? I have tried path:- "file:" & Get ( DesktopPath ) with or without the Excel file name, new filename or original file all return an error.

Using FM Server 11 Pro Advanced?

I have an American Express card swipe where the card was swiped so that the raw card swipe data was read and successfully charged, while the CCTrackData ( $track1) is failing with an error. The appearance of the track data is not different from the other cards that are being successfully read without issue. Is CCTrackData then unreliable? Or is it just with American Express? (I got no response from 360Works when I notified them about what seems to me a serious issue. I'm not sure they are getting my email so I thought I would try posting here on the forum.) I'm working on a work around custom function to eliminate this problem. Is anyone else having problems wit…

Quick techy question when you are returning Acrofield names from a PDF are you reading the Acrofields, as per iText examples or are you reading from the annotations. I am looking at the plug in but it returns list in a different order to the function I have already written which would require changing some logic in the XML parse functions I use...

360Works will be discontinuing the 360Works Charts plugin within one year, as much of the functionality of charts is built into FileMaker 11. We will continue to provide limited technical support for people who have purchased the plugin.

Hi, I am looking for a way of making a pie chart that compair 2 fields from the same table, and wondered if 360works charts would do this (chart feature in FMPA 11 does not seem to) I have 2 peices of data in a training database, 1 has hours (numbers field) in a field called called TotalHoursRequired (which is for the total amount of hours required to complete the training package), and the other called HoursCompleted ( which is the amount of hours the student has completed to date towards the total required) I want to produce a Pie Chart that shows the progress of the student's hours - the full pie representing the TotalHoursRequired, and the slice repere…

When doing a CCProcessPayment is there a full list of additional parameters that can be used, the documentation says it only shows most common, are there additional? Looking for a way to set PayFlow's COMMENT1 parameter during the CCProcessPayment command. We are migrating from another CC plug-in and prefer where PayPal displays info entered in COMMENT1 & 2 verses other options. Dean

Can someone explain the parameters for this function. I can't get it to work.

Is it possible some FTP won't allow the FTPeek_GetFileInfo ( remotePath; infoType ) to return data ( size / mod date?) - error is all that is ever returned.

I understand all the 360works plug-ins require Java to be installed. I was wondering what happens when you call a plug-in function on a computer where Java is not installed - do you get an error to this effect? Many thanks, Steve

I currently have a database solution using the Plastic plugin. I do not use a terminal. The user enters the card information. Does anyone know if the plastic plugin works with the SwipeIt iPhone terminal. Anyone who has used it... what are the pluses and minuses?. thank you for any input

safetynet uses port 8030 and somehow my ical server grabs it... does anyone know how to stop this conflict besides disabling ical server? Thanks, Charles [email protected]

I have a FileMaker solution that extracts information from a couple of websites. This solution was developed using New Millennium's MediaManager plug-in to download the HTML. Timeouts were a chronic problem. Even with script logic to retry twice in the event of a timeout, about 5% of all website requests failed with a timeout. When I replaced MediaManager with WebAssistant, downloading HTML greatly improved, with no retry loop. In the several weeks I've been using WebAssistant, I've had three cases of FileMaker hanging on a website access (Mac OS X beachball). My guess is WebAssistant is causing the hang due to an HTTP timeout. Each time I've had to Forc…

I used WebAssistant Example.fp7 (part of the WebAssistant package) to check out the plug-in before purchasing a license. As I started using WebAssistant in an actual solution, I returned several times to the demo file for further testing. Clicking from example to example became tedious. So I added a "table of contents" layout to provide 1-click access to any example. Since the demo provided a nice testing framework, I added a couple of new examples: "Getting Cookies" "Getting Response Headers" I offer my enhanced WebAssistant demo file for your consideration: WebAssistant Example Plus.fp7 I expect I'll be adding more examples as the need a…

WebAssistant's WAGetResponseHeader returns a single header value by name. That's fine, as long as one knows the header names. When a Web site/server augments the standard header names, there's no easy way in WebAssistant to retrieve these site-specific headers. When developing a solution for a specific site, it would helpful to have a WAGetAllResponseHeaders function, patterned after the standard HTTP getAllResponseHeaders method.

Is it possible to export colored or highlighted text into an xlsx file? Obviously exporting the text itself isn't an issue, but are there any advanced editing options available once that text is exported into the excel file? I've read through the instructions for scribe and it appears as if the only highlighting options that are available are for text that exists inside of FMP.

I have been using your ScriptMaster plugin with a runtime solution very successfully. Thank you. FMI says that FMGo doesn't support plug-ins and now of course I have customers who want to use their iPads. Any plans for a Scriptmaster plug-in to work on the iPad with FMGo? Susanne

I cant get any links from imdb.com to work with the Get URL as Text ( url ) function. I can make it work for other sites but I get a 403 error. any ideas?

Does the Plastic plugin work as a server-side plugin? I have a client that wants to use iPads as POS systems and authorize payments from the iPads via authorize.net. Since FileMaker Go doesn't support plugins, we'd have to use Plastic on the server. Is this possible, or do I have to tell the client it's not possible? Thanks, Steve McI

WebAssistant appears to have the features I need to ... Login to my local public library site, using my account ID and password. Retrieve a list of the items checked out to my account. Retrieve a list of the items I've requested. When I login using my browser, the site sets several cookies. I assume I must collect these cookies (using WAGetResponseHeader) and pass them back with each request (using WASetRequestHeader). The WebAssistant User Guide has a one-line example of WASetRequestHeader and no example of using WAGetResponseHeader. Does anyone have an example using WebAssistant to access account-specific Web content? -- Ward

Hi, I'm wondering about the parameters that control the approval process, and the best way to submit a name when it has a middle initial. I notice that lots of websites simply have a single field for the complete name as it appears on the card. I've also noticed that lots of people have a middle initial on their card. So what is the recommended way to submit a full name as it appears on the card, so that it will be verified? If additional parameters are submitted ( like first name, and last name ) should't the transaction be denied if the name doesn't match that on the card? Working in test mode, I'm finding that I can submit my card with other people's names, and th…
