OK, one more question from me today. In a job database I have a list of jobs with different priorities and dates. I want to write a script to sort the jobs by priority, then by date, and then by time. I can get that far just fine. I'd then like the script to go down the list and assign a field in each record a numerical value representing that job's location in the queue. Any suggestions?

Ah, thanks. I wondered why Today quit working, but it started working again as soon as I relaunched the database, so I thought it was fine. Thanks for explaining it.

I'm trying to write a script to set a field to the current time. It completely escapes me what function one uses to get the current time! I know there's the today function for getting the date, but I'm completely lost with the time. Help?

I want to write a script to allow a field containing HTML code to be sent as an email that will show up as a web page (not the HTML code itself.) Can this be done with the built-in mail function and Eudora?

OK, thats pretty much what i thought. I am already running a separate web server, so i guess i'll keep doing so. I was just wondering if there was a way to merge the two... Thanks!

Are there any alternatives to Web Companion for FMPro 4 on a mac out there? I'm looking for a more powerful web server that will still be able to handle FM stuff. Anyone know of a free plugin that does so?

After I quit being lazy and downloaded a whole bunch of network tools, ive done some pretty extensive data monitoring, pinging, etc and have found that FileMaker keeps listening on port 5003. Can anyone confirm this? I'm going to try it tomorrow...

That controls the web companion port number. I already know that. What I really want is the port for sharing databases via TCP/IP. Like when you select "Open" and click the hosts button and type in an IP address. This is the port number I want. I cannot find it anywhere either!

I want to share some of my databases over TCP/IP through filemaker. Some of these databases are shared with web companion, others are not. These other databases I would like to view in filemaker from a remote machine. The problem is that I am using a single IP address from a cable modem which goes through a router to share that IP with all of the machines. My web servers and everything else gets shared out to the web through port mapping. I cannot find anywhere the port that Filemaker TCP/IP database sharing uses. Anyone know this port number? or numbers? Please help!
