I am new to Filemaker, and getting pretty frustrated trying to figure out to get it to do what I need it to. I'm a graduate student and need to get the data in my database analyzed so I can start writing my thesis, but am stumped at the moment as to how to do this.

I would absolutely love to sit down with someone knowledgable who lives in my area and to ask some basic questions. Do you know how I could find such a person? I live in Madison, Wisconsin. Many thanks in advance for any advice.

A Little Back (& Forward) Magic FMPug is proud to bring you breaking news FileMaker! One of the most difficult things to script when building a database is the way your users navigate around it. Back in the day you could create simple navigation scripts to change between layouts, but tabs changed all that. Now you change from one layout to another, losing focus on the last active tab. If only we had a way to capture where the user had been, moving back and forth between the locations. Heck, if we could remember the last tab we were on too, wouldn't that be fantastic?! Well, thanks to our very good friends at Seedcode, it's all within the realm of the po…

Available free from Compudude ( www.compudude.com), Find *it* searches the names of various database objects for the text you specify. Especially with large solutions, it's often hard to remember what a certain object is named to find it in the various development dialogs.

It's also useful when deleting fields since, although you're warned when the field's being used in a script and forbidden from deleting fields used in calculations, FileMaker does not alert you if the field exists on any layout. With Find *it* you can search for the field name an…
