I have FMP server 3.0v4 running on a G4 with OS 9.04. It has been fine for a year and a half, last week it crashed. It restarted fine and everything works except the automatic restart script. It is a 2 line applescript that tells FMP to quit and the finder to restart. If you double click on the script in the finder FMP quits and the machine restarts, but it will not work when called through FMP Schedules, even though it worked fine before the crash. I'm stumped and I need to restart the machine each day for some Today & Current date calculations to work. Anyone have any ideas?

I've tried a total uninstall and resinstall of 4.1v3 on windows 98 and I am always getting: A fatal exception 0E has occurred at 0028:C02F277C in VXD NAVAP(02) + 0001982C. The current application will be terminated. I've dealt with filemake many many win95 machiens without serious troubles. But I really need it to work on my win98. Anyone else seen this?

Problem: A user with a PC running WIN 2000, 128MB RAM logs into the network at startup, then launches FM Pro ver 4.1v3. She opens the main database and enters the password, but she then gets a message saying "FileMaker Pro has generated an error message and will shutdown". Here's the curious part: I can log in to the PC network with our administrator password, and FileMaker will run fine! Any thoughts before we either re-install FM, or WIN2k, or both???

I want to make format changes to *already entered* text in fields of multiple records. The text has already been input (pasted) in the fields, the format (font size, etc.) differs between various records. I want to make the format the same for a given field in all records. Since the data was input in Browse mode, the format attributes in Layout have been overridden; existing data cannot be changed via Layout (right?). How can I easily change the format of already entered text across an entire file, without having to repeat the same change for each individual field or record?

I usually work at client sites. This year from my own office I have been building for one client that still uses fm3 so I haven't upgraded. I now need to do some development from my office for a fm5 client and was about to upgrade. Question: If I upgrade to fm5, will I be able to "save down" to fm3 for the client that still uses the old version?

I've read the suggestions that everyone upgrade to 5 or 5.5. Here's a problem - We still have CD's distributed to us which require fp3 format. To require all of these files to convert to v.5 would mean a huge undertaking across many machines. Files would not be shareable/distributable until all machines were upgraded. In Short - this required upgrade of files makes the job very very difficult in larger environments. Further to that - I'll have to see some more significant improvements in the functionality of the program to justify an upgrade of this magnitude. I'd be interested to hear what people are finding as improvements in FP5.

What the heck? We've been using FMP via Ciitrix for some time, then this morning we came in and EVERYTHING in FMP is in the Greek alphabet on ALL the PCs. The other apps seem to be fine, so it's not a keyboard or system setting as far as I can tell. How do I change it back to the old fashioned queens english? It's a little amusing, but very frustating. Are the PCs possesed or is this a trick of Billy Gates gettign back at us for not using Abcess? Any help will is gratefuly appreciated.

filemaker.com says that FMP 5.5 Unlimited is expected to ship in "summer 2001" has anyone heard anymore about what this means? Will we see a release by sept? Since Unlimited used to install on OS X Server (v1.2) and OS X Server 1.2 has now been replaced with the new OS X and Server, is it safe to assume that they will carry support over for these new OSes? Is there any way I can contact FMI to ask these questions?

As you all know that FMP 5.5 supports Two-Way Dynamic ODBC Exchange. How does it work exactly? Let’s say I have FMP DB, everyday we import a big junk of data from Oracle to FMP, then we dump the data back to the Oracle in the end of the day. In the other word, FMP is Front End to Oracle Database. The reason we import and export back and forth is because it is not work dynamically, what we modify the data in FMP is not effect to Oracle. I wonder new feature called “Two-Way Dynamic ODBC Exchange” in FMP 5.5 solves this hard “Labor” work of import and export. If this is the case, then we don’t have to replace FMP by some other tools that support the dynamic exchange d…

We are creating a label with 7-point type. It's too small to edit on screen, so we use the zoom tool to increase the viewing area to 150%. The problem is when we shrink back down to 100%, the type breaks differently. We are thus forced to edit at 100%, which is barely visible. Filemaker's tech library notes the problem but has no solution. Does anyone know of a workaround or solution? Many thanks, dweller [ August 17, 2001: Message edited by: dweller ]

Hi guys, Does anyone (this is probably best answered by a UK person) have any troubles accessing Filemaker via the Internet? Using my client at home I can access databases over the net that are hosted at my work, but I cannot access ones which are hosted on my webserver hosted privately elsewhere. Yet a machine on the same LAN as the web server can see and access them OK. All I get in the hosts window is an empty box The webserver is hosted on a BT ADSL line, does BT block ports 5003 etc?

Under Windows 95, I have installed FileMaker 5.5 for the first time. At launch, it scans the fonts and hangs. I have tried removing the trouble fonts, deleting the fmf file and re-launching, but have essentially gotten to the point where the remaining fonts are system fonts. Is there any way to turn off the scan or some better explanation and solution to this problem? If the fonts are indeed corrupt, is there any to reinstall them selectively, that is, without having to reinstall all of W95?

I'm going to run this question on this board, b/c nobody's answered yet... thought I'd try my luck here. We have a very small office (under 10 people), and have been using FMP as long as I can remember. We recently upgraded to 5 (right before 5.5 was released, go figure). Since we don't have an extra Mac lying around, the office manager hosts. Needless to say, the performance is less than stellar- lots of crashes, speed of host computer is horrible, etc. It finally occurred to me (after reading it in the FMP 5 manual) that we could use the never-touched Gateway PC to play host. I don't have the software for this yet- I'm still trying to convince my boss that this is o…

I would like to display dates in a custom format, e.g., "05-Mar-2001". Using the "format date" menu, I can define the format as I'd like it to display. Many of the dates were entered in the "3/5/2001" format, and they display incorrectly, e.g. a date that was entered as "1/21/1997" displays as 01-Jan-1997 instead of "21-Jan-1997." Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks, Jan

I am exporting records using a calculation field where I have used Quark tags to format the text. This will be flowed into a Quark template. My problem is with the TAG for setting tabs. My data contains Names, addresses and phone numbers of members of a church. I want a tab for setting the zip code and phone in the following format: 64628........(660) 555-1234 The express tag that I am using is: <*t(123,2,"."). My column for my text is 123 points wide, right aligned and I want dots for my fill dot leaders. What is the best way to set up this TAG in FM so that when I export, it will work?

I've played with the trial version of 5.5. and I have one important question. I saw that one of the primary claims to fame for the new version was the ability to have resizable and positionable message windows when the Show Message script step is used. When I used the Trail version I found that when I, as the developer, entered a 6 line message for example, when the user got the message it still defaulted to the old/stupid 4 line message window. Whats worse was there was NO notification that there was more text that was not being displayed. Now, it's true if the user 'knew' there was more text they could resize the window and viola the message would appear in it's en…

I have a file that is going to be used to generate custom and standard letters. If the user wants a custom letter they simply select the letter field and type the letter. If they want a standard letter I have a drop menu that they choose the standard letter they want. It will then via a script copy the contents of a global text field which contains the Formatted letter and pastes it into the letter field. The problem I am having is that in the global field I have everything formatted the way I need it, but when it pastes the letter it loses the alignment formating that I have setup. The bold and the italics and underline stays but not the alignment. I have tried using Set…

When performing development tasks on our software in multi-user mode (ie.. hosted from another copy of Filemaker, not server), I often (8 times out of 10) have Filemaker on the hosting computer crash saying: "FileMaker Pro cannot read the disk." or some such. This only seemes to happen when replaces or other data manipulation is initiated on the hosting computer and only when another user is logged into the machine, using the files. It NEVER happens when only one computer is using the files. Because we host all our software on Server for customer installations this doesn't affect us too much, but many consistancy checks sometimes fail and files are messed up, so other…

I have noticed that when some of my databases are opened, they occasionally begin a sort process, keyword occasionally. While there may be a script causing this, I wondered if this might be a standard thing for FileMaker when a particular threshold is tripped. The databases I use were inherited and I am not a FileMaker expert, so I will dig deeper in an attempt to locate a custom sorting script that is being triggered, but if anyone can save me time by letting me know if this is normal behaviour for FM, I would appreciate it.

We just got a new pc in the office, and were using filemaker pro 3. I wanted to set up the new pc as the server because its a lot faster (800mhz duron) than the previous (120mhz pentium).

I tried just copying the files and running it, and it seemed to open the files as multi-user and work fine, until i tried connecting a client computer to it, it would not find a host for the files on the network. So i thought it must be because the program was copied and not installed, maybe it puts stuff in the system folder that i missed.

Has anyone been able to successfully serve CSS FMP pages over SSL to Netscape browsers (both Mac & Win9x).

A client has a Toshiba laptop. When attempting to back up to Zip disks, she discovered that she couldn't just copy files to the root of the Zip, but had to place them in folders. So she placed a bunch of linked JPEG files in folders, backed them up, then restored them to their original location. Now, in the FMP5 database, the links to these pix have gotten screwy. A link that used to be to, say, "ryane.jpg" now brings up "ryans.jpg". No change was made in the FMP file, and the pix are all exactly where they used to be. Huh?

Hello everyone, Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions on how to manage serial numbers in a multiuser environment? Specifically, we have purchased 2 x 10-user licences (VLA) and therefore have 2 serial numbers. We have installed most of these licences already and are about to purchase more. The problem is that we lost track of who is using which serial number so when we install a new copy, the user sometimes gets the "maximum number of licences are in use" message. However, we don't know who the 10 users are. Is there any way to tell what serial number is being used? I noticed that on single user licence copies, the About FileMaker window shows the installati…

I am in charge of about 10 computers ranging from 7100s to G4s. All have an OS of atleast 9.0. Recently some of the computers have been reformatted with 9.1. We also use Adobe Type Manager Deluxe. The main database is on a remote server and each workstation connects to it. (We're in the process of finishing up a FMP Server). The file is displayed properly on the older macs however the fonts included do not register when on a mac with the new 9.1 OS. It defaults to Helvetica. The database is extremely large and complicated. To reformat it would takes weeks. The fonts register in all other programs and work fine. Its just FMP 5.5 which is causing a problem. The files were …

Hi there, I have been working on a database where I removed the Status Area and instead of the conventional "record-browser" implemented my own navigation - so far four buttons doing "First Record", "Previous Record", "Next Record" and "Last Record. Piece of cake. Now I would like to add the following text information: Record Number, Total (found) Records and Total Records. Example: a) Browsing my records. Looking at record number 22 out of all 398 records: 22 of 398 - 398 Searching my records. Found 114 out of all 398 records. Looking at record number 22 of all found 114 records: 22 of 114 - 398 Can this be done? Any help would be appreciated

I am new here, so appreciate any help. anyway the company I work for has asked me to migrate FMServer 3.0 from an old pc to a new dedicated server. The issue I have is that I do not have the license for the server, this is an old install. Is there a way of finding out the license number from the application... Failing this, is it still possible to buy filemaker server 3.0 Thanks [email protected]

I work in higher ed., and Filemaker is very popular with faculty. Lately we've been hosting more and more FileMaker solutions on the web with Unlimited. Unfortunately, we're running up against the 50 file limit. I'm wondering if it's possible to run multiple instances of Unlimited on the same (NT) machine. I have no problem shelling out for more licences, but I really don't want to buy another box, as the current one is mostly idle... although we have 50 files running, none of them are serving very high-traffic websites. I'm envisioning running 2 or more instances of Unlimited on the same box, listening on different ports of course, and running Web Connector to mak…

I've been patient, but haven't had any responses to my post in another section. My qestion is with Citrix and FMP5.0 It appears that you coudl use a regular copy of FMP5 and publish it over citrix. Then have multiple people access the files. I tried it with two uses and it seemed to work fine. Is this too simple? Or am I gonna run into lots of problems not leting one copy of FMP act as the host and all the others connecting via TCP/IP as guests? I'm not familiar with Citrix, so any info would be great.

Hey all Let me just say ahead of time that I'm completely unfamiliar with FM! :-) The current database solution that's been set in place at my company has been done by an outside company. The problem I seem to be having is this. We're running FMSERVER 3.0 to host a set of files, which are then accessed on the client side by FM3.0 runtime clients and a single FMP 4.0 web companion for limited web access for a few users. FMSERVER resides on a internal web server, Proliant /p3-600/256/RAID5, Win2000 Server/SP2. Also running IIS for something unrelated. FMP 4.0 web comp resides on an old Proliant 2500 Pro200/128 Win2000 Server/SP2. Sparatically, clients are getting er…

I've got a few solutions I've developed, but the customers want a contract for the solution usage and some limited ongoing support. What have you used in the past? Can anyone send me a sample of one that i can modifiy? Unfortunately, I need it yesterday, otherwise I'd guess joining the FileMaker Solution Alliance or something would have some sort of resources. I guess I need to join them at some point. Thanks in advance. Bruce J [email protected]

I maintain the FileMaker Pro database for the advertising company that I work for. I am the only person using the database, so it is only set up on my machine. I don't know a lot about computer networks, but I need to have a few other people accessing the same database. What do we physically need for this?

Hi Vaughn previously helped with FM4 problem crashing with photos. Following his advise now works fine and have photo database ~600mb. (We use fm to operate real estate office using it to record listings, print wndow cards etc - works well) We have home pages (www.cynthiadykerealty.com.au) hosted by our local real estate institute where we have pages for virtually all our properties. To add/amend/delete date we print out a fact sheet on the property from fm, fax it to them and e-mail the photo or photos. Would like to do this directly from fm using e-mail function. I see that we can send e-mail and I would make new field with all the data that we currently print (…

If you want people to not be able to edit a field but able to enter the field to copy information or perform a find, then a calculation field is the best option I know of. If the fields will be searched on, you might as well set them to be indexed when you define the fields so that the first time a user attempts to search on them they don't have to wait for them to be indexed.

Hello Robert, there is a network version called FMP5 Server that can solve your problems; the most relevant features it provides are: - scheduled files opening & closing (independently from guests) - scheduled backups - easy integration with Ms MMC & SMC consoles under NT - improvement of performance (in most cases it is dramatic) - cacheing of MRU files - remote administration, from NT consoles (guests) - last, but not least, easy installation & admin. - 250 connections supported under NT (125 under MAC env.) - 125 simultaneously opened files Note that, in the reality, it shares file access (it is not a real file server), but this is not a …

I have FM 5.5 on my Titanium G4 using OS X. Two things that don't work as far as I can tell is as follows. 1- If I copy a field calculation in the define fields area in order to paste it a new field I made, it won't paste. But if I go into a layout in browse mode and copy what's in a field and paste it into a different field, it works fine. I found this bug because I opened a database I made of calculations I keep so I don't have to retype them in new databases I design. Serious flaw in 5.5. Who wants to retype a 40 line calculation over and over. 2-The view toolbar menu is grayed out in my views menu in layout mode or browse mode. So I can't have for example the tex…

I love working with FMP5 but the shimmering field outlines when one of the layout fields is entered and the blinking of layout parts (buttons, lines, fields...) as a new layout is entered looks unprofessional. I 've used Freeeze...Refresh but that just makes the whloe layout one big blink. Is there a way to get rid of these messy visual effects?

Therefore, I'd like to start sending customized emails, or "form emails." My problem is, how do I create a field that contains <<merge field>> dynamic content? I've set up the email plug-in to email content within the field "email_letter." I would like to learn how to create a cusomized letters within this field.
