Hello All, I'm looking for some kind of document; "Best Practices/Setup for Running FileMaker Server on Windows Server 2019". Can anyone point me to a good resource? Here's background and what's happening. We design and distribute the "SuiteFlow Total Office" system (all clients using the same system). We have many clients running their own FM servers; about half Mac and half Win. All of our Win installations are serving with WS 2016 (until now). Several of these servers having been running for years without a single problem! All Windows are running FileMaker Server 18 (newest version). Our Mac servers are running both FMS 18 and 19 with no major issues. 3 weeks ago I installed FMS 19.2.1 on a new Windows Server 2019; it's been a nightmare. The machine is super fast, state-of-the-art with no bells and whistles. Users are routinely crashing (both Go and Pro). The machine has to be restarted daily to resolve issues. Awful. I've done all the things I know to do; indexing is turned off for the whole machine, anti-virus software is not running, auto-updates are turned off. I'm nowhere near as familiar with WS 2019 as with 2016. I see a lot of services running which I'm not familiar with. So, does anyone have documentation about what is the minimum configuration for Windows Server 2019 for a smooth FMS experience. Note: I have not tried FMS 18 on this machine. Note: WebDirect also will not run without "communication errors" Any help? Steve Shiver SuiteFlow Services

Yep. I should've used the GetValue(). Thanks!

OK. Well, LaRetta got me to thinking ... "surely I wouldn't need quotes?" So I decided to try it with quotes anyway. As a result I could see in dataviewer that there was a space after the last letter of the $Layout value. So I learned the MiddleValues function included the carriage return as well as the value. I fixed with the following and now all is great! Thanks to you both. Steve

Well, I'm happy to provide more information; just not sure what that information would be. I'm setting a local variable "$Layout" with the value of the layout name to which I need to navigate. In this case the layout name is "PD_085". That's exactly the name of the layout. When the script step Go To Layout (layout name by calculation) executes I receive an error "105: Layout is missing". But the layout is there. This happens with every layout I try. Any thoughts? Steve Shiver HI LarRetta! I am NOT wrapping quotes around $Layout. Should I be wrapping quotes around the value that inside $Layout? BTW (my middle name is Rhett):) here's the script

I can't seem to get "Go To Layout (layout name by calculation)" to work ... help? I'm passing a variable "$Layout" as the calucation. I've checked spelling over and over. I've tried different layouts. It simply won't honor the name in the variable. Any ideas anyone? I'm in the latest version of everything. Steve Shiver

Never mind. Figured it out.

I love this plugin. I'm wanting to use allow multiple inline attachments. Is it possible to insert text in-between the attachments?

Help! I have the Email plugin succesfully installed on FM Server 13. Using WebDirect I can send email ... works great from a browser. The same scripts using FM Go yields a "?" error. Please, Give me the secret! Steve Shiver SuiteFlow

fndimarco, What's the status on this? I was about to upgrade to 13.02 until I read this post ... sorry you're the one that got the snake bite Steve Shiver

Susan and Fenton, Where is the file you've referenced here "USPS_AddressVerify". I would love to have it! Looks like you do great work, Fenton. Steve
