FileMaker Pro 2025

Good afternoon, I am looking for feedback, some ideas, please on a problem I am experiencing.

Here are the basic facts: - A solution is hosted in a data centre in the same city as the company that uses it.

Hello All, After two days, no response from Claris, I gave in and took a deep dive with ChatGPT to diagnose a HTTPS Tunneling issue with Filemaker 2025. We use the HTTPS Tunneling to avoid using a VPN for mobile and remote workers. Full disclosure: The write up below was produced by ChatGPT.

After extensive testing, this appears to be a FileMaker Pro 22 tunneling regression rather tha…

Normally, I scroll across and both the header and the row move together. I guess this must be very basic, but never had this issue before. I cant see where to change it.

I’m preparing a small demonstration version of a FileMaker application I’ve been developing called CaseTrax. In its real-world use, the solution supports government property management workflows tied to highly sensitive programs, which obviously cannot be shown or discussed directly. I have an upcoming internal “Shark Tank”–style presentation where the goal is to demonstrate FileMaker’s capabilities (data integrity, relationships, automation, dashboards, multi-user support, etc.) and make the case for funding and formal adoption. The challenge is that I cannot bring the actual production software or data into the room, and without a working demo, it’s difficult to convey …
