This machine is seperate to the WC machine, and yes it gets a lot of traffic through it. It is though on the machine that runs filemaker server. Not hosting the files this filemaker pro is opening, hosting files for my internal network. This thought was not a problem with filemker v5 just 5.5 Simon

you do the following [fmp-if: (ProjectDescription .eq. something).AND.(ProjectName .eq. untitled).OR.(projectdescription.eq.somethingelse)].

When I look at task manager Filemaker is up to 19Mb and running at 99% CPU. Stop it and the machine runs perfectly again. Simon

Since I have loaded 5.5 unlimited on two machines as a raic for the website both machines are running up to CPU 100%. Any ideas. It is on a windows 2k box. The system usage in task manager says it has been using the cpu constantly since I restarted 4 hours ago. Help Simon

A way round this is to use the inlinetag to do a search of the database you want to build the value list from finding on the relationship value then use [fmp-record to build the value list ie [fmp-record]<option value="[fmp-field: fieldforlist]">[fmp-field: fieldforlist] [/fmp-record]</option> Hope this helps

Depending on how many fields you could use tokens so if they choose yes for show author and this put a yes on -token.1 then use [fmp-if: currenttoken:1.eq.yes][fmp-field: author][fmp-else][/fmp-if] Hope that helps Simon

make the -format tag a drop down menu which could say either List View Detail View and have them choose which format file to get <select size="1" name="-format"> <option value="listview.htm">View as List <option value="Detail.htm">View as Detail </select> That should do it. Simon

DirectDual Limited is proud to announce the first release of Total Upload Total Upload is a program that runs on your server and provides you with a simple means of adding File Upload capability to your web pages. There is no Java to learn and no ASP. It runs on all shades of Windows including XP. It has been fully tested against Apache, Sambar and IIS. Although not designed solely for FileMaker Pro users, there are also some specific facilities that will permit easy integration into an FMP environment. Check out the Total Upload web site at http://www.totalupload.com for more details and while you are there, why not try out the two evaluations provided. To see an FMP user's comments, have a look at http://www.totalupload.com/benefits.htm. To enable those who cannot run executables on their web servers, we are shortly to release our Server Service which will provide a platform for gathering uploaded files and making them available to your web site.

To get the use of the file a currentrecid inside an inline you do the follwoing. [fmp-inlineaction: -db=mydatabase.fp5, token.1="{currentrecid}", fieldtosearch="valuetofind", -find] If you want to pull information from file a into your found results to show different info you use the { } tags. ie you have a field in file a that you want to use as an if statement(on my site a candidate says he is interested in consulting. I find his record and then on my page I do a search of the company database and of the info found I want to show the consulting departments phone number as that is what the guy is interested in) ou have to use tokens and the { } tags in the inline. Therefore unfortunately limiting yourselve to 10 fields you can use. [fmp-inlineaction: -db=companydatabase.fp5, industry="{fmp-field: industry}", -token.1=(fmp-field: industry}", -find][fmp-record][fmp-if: currrenttoken:1.eq.consulting][fmp-field: consulting_phone_number][/fmp-if][/fmp-record][/fmp-inlineaction] Hope that helps

found a program called automizer that runs on pc. Just told it to run my opener file every 5 minutes. Does the job fine. Thanks for help Simon

I need to have a utility that will sit on windows and open a file every 20 minutes. This will open my opener file that then opens all my website databases. So if filemaker crashes it will be restarted by this file and I can sleep at night Simon

Keith, As i started my reply with unfortunately I thought I was implying that your information was very useful but not something he could make use of unless he started to use cdml. No offence meant. By the way I use -lop alot and it always works for me in every instance al;though I agree with you that -op is very unpredicatable and it is better to put in the straight forard filemaker characters such as ==. Could you state properly why you believe -lop is useless. Simon Simon

Unfortunately Keith he is obviously using instant publishing just by looking at the format file he is getting. He then has no control over the url so can't do as you say. You need custom publishing. To answer some of your real questions. You do not need to web server connector to make the email links work, or Filemaker developer either. You just need to begin learning Custom Web Publishing which can be done with any version of Filemaker. The only thing developer helps with is a CDML (custom web page language) Reference file that gives you a list of the replacement tags available for web page proccessing. But this is downloadable from websites (search this forum to find out where). This will enable you to make your email links clickable and a whole lot more. Simon

I am writing a windows utility that will enable easy file upload. It will work with the fmp-currentrecid tag enabling you to pass through the page for an upload and come back to where you would like to be at the other end. If anyone is interested in full spec please email me. Si

are you using the post action or get. Get is seriously limited in the amount of information it can pass back WC Simon
