Yep It works. I used the target= attribute in the wrong place. Using it in the FORMAT line has the rigth effect. Thanks a lot. Hans Erik Hazelhorst Database and Internet Consultant email hazelhor@knoware.nl

If you a report on the user's local printer, that's not possible directly. However, you could print it to a PDF, then send the PDF as an email attachment to the user (or have him/her view it directly in the browser if you can move/rename the PDF to a webserver directory). If the user has a fax machine, you could also use a fax plugin to FMP. Hans Erik Hazelhorst Database and Internet Consultant email hazelhor@knoware.nl

I am trying to do this, using custom web publishing, FMP 4 and Claris Home Page: - a web page with 2 frames - in one frame, a simple search form is displayed, with a submit button ('find') - in the other frame, I want the search results displayed as a result table. Nothing special, but when I hit the submit button, the results are always displayed in the same frame as the search form! Am I doing wrong something or is this something that can't be done? I have added 'target=xxx' as extra HTML to the submit button, where xxx is the name of target frame, but that doesn't make a difference :-( Thank for help, Hans Erik Hazelhorst Database and Internet Consultant email hazelhor@knoware.nl

Yes you're right, storing the reference (as text) makes sense. Especially in the case of large files. Another issue: say I have some small graphics stored in the FMP database, in a global field for instance (static graphics like icons etc.). Does the Web Companion cache these graphics one way or another? Or does it convert them over and over again every time a page is requested? And if I want to display a graphic conditionally, would this be better to set up as a calculation in FMPro (a calc.field with container as result) or to use [FMP-if] statements in the CDML?

I have no complete solution, but I think you should consider this: - Split your entry form into two, each pointing to a different database, and displayed in a different frame in the browser. The top frame is used for entering adress information and viewing the existing telephone numbers, the bottom frame is used for adding a new telephone number. - To pass on the record ID for the telephone number, you could use the -token feature, or use a submit button on the addressframe that runs a script in the database (using the -script.prefind tag). Might work? Success Hans Erik Hazelhorst Database and Internet Consultant email hazelhor@knoware.nl

I am setting up a website/database that serves graphic. Which is the fastest method to store the graphics: within the FileMaker database or outside (by choosing 'Store only a reference etc.)? The graphics are already in JPG or GIF format. Or to put it more technical: the web companion converts graphics from 'FileMaker format' to JPG on the fly, but this takes CPU time. Is this avoided when the graphics are already stored in JPG? In other words, does the web companion grab the JPG files directly or does it still goes through the conversion processes?

Perhaps this is not the appropriate place to ask this quetion, but has anyone experience with Javascript in combination with FMP/CDML? Is it possible to store Javascript code in a FMP database and have it published using CDML and interpreted/executed at the same time? I tried som using Web Companion wut it doesn't seem to work.

Which patch do you mean? The FMP 4.0v1 to v2 upgrade? Or the WinNT Service pack. Problem is, we've run 4.0v2 also along with v1 and it never seemed to cause problems, only recently.

Strange problem: we have a FMP Server running under NT4 (newest service pack), and several FMP4/Win95 clients attached (using TCP over Tokenring). Since a couple of weeks, some clients hang occasionally for no apparent reason, getting stuck in the 'network busy' icon (the little flash, not the cup of coffee). Only remody is a End Task (Ctrl-Alt-Del). Clients are running FMP 4.0v1 and 4.0v2. Database has not changed (only gotten bigger).
