FileMaker General Discussions

How can I do a search in 14 text fields (A1, A2, A3, etc.), within the same file, without doing 14 requests. The search should return all the records that has, at the least, one matching result. Now to make things more difficult, each field can contain from one to five words.

One of my annual responsibilities, as a teacher of disabled children, is to write each student a prescriptive educational plan (IEP) for the next school year. It's composed of many variables, including Annual Goals and Instructional Objectives appropriate for the individual child's skill needs. I am creating a bank of goals and objectives, which grows each time I write new ones, to use as a resource. There are times when a previously written goal or objective is appropriate for another child and I would like them to automatically insert the child's first name instead of referring to him/her as "the student." IE..."Given ten 2 and 3-digit addition problems requiring regro…

Can a CurrentSkip be converted to a cookie? We'd like to show the same sequence after altering data in a record. The CurrentToken is already in use. Example: If we want to change the record number 35 when we show records 31 - 40 (Skip=10), we also want to come back to the same range of 31 - 40 instead of 1 - 10. We have tried the following: [FMP-SetCookie: skip=FMP-CurrentSkip, Expires=43200] in different variations, but so far, no luck. Can anybody help us?? ------------------ Schaapherder Design Heideveldweg 56a - 1251 XN Laren - NL T 035-5388190 - F 035-5388191

I have FMPro 4.1v3. The Help files have become unavailable from the Tool bar. However the files "FileMaker Pro Help" and "FileMaker Pro Balloon Help" are still in the root folder and so is the app "Quickhelp". I can run Quickhelp separately and bring up the "FileMaker Pro Help" file with no problem...but not from the FMPro program itself. Any ideas on how to re-establish the link will be most appreciated. Thanks/Bill

I'm having trouble importing Excel 98 into Filemaker 4.1 under OS9. My Excel data is times as hh.mm.ss.000. When I import into Filemaker it appears as hh.mm.ss. If I save as comma-delimited in Excel I can import into Filemaker as hh.mm.ss.000, which is what I want. Is this a problem with Excel, the import filter, or what? And is there any other solution apart from the comma-delimited workaround? Thanks! Max

I'm not sure is this is the best folder in which to post this message but I couldn't find one that seemed to fit this question! I am looking for an invoicing example (either article, freeware, or shareware) that includes balance forward, partial payments on outstanding invoices, and calculation of finance charges on outstanding balances. All the examples I can find on the Web are very simple invoicing that is either point-of-sale or does not use balance forward or finance charges. I have some thoughts on how to approach this project but it would help me tremendously to see how others have attacked this problem! Thank you very much!
