You could use PHP with PDF extensions to create a PDF from the information.

It works great with [FMP-CurrentError] and som If-statements. thx

I have to validate a field in a form, I beleive that my problem is not solvable with Javascript. The form is a competition which all entrants only can apply once. And the only workable solution to that is to make sure that people can't enter with the same e-mail address twice. The form and format page have to check if someone tries to enter the competition twice (or more) with the same e-mail address. I have javascript validation on all the required fields (such as name, phone ...) and I've tried to use the FMP control attributes on fields (such as: required value, not-empty and so on). But all that happens is that I can get the format page use the error code sent out by WC (code 504) and print: "You have already answered... you bastard", but the information with the same e-mail address is added to the database. The only difference is that it doesn't contain the duplicate e-mail address. Is there anyway I can stop FMP from adding that post?

Oh, I hope this helps or that someone else helps you out. Just thought I would say good luck! I know how fun it is when everything breaks down on a convention!!! Yippeyho!!! Well, I should sleep now...

Or you could make a nifty little format file which enters the entrants information into a html-table with GIFs or JPGs with the logo, borders and stuff. Just use standard CDML for accessing and adding the entrants in the database. Then use the browsers printing settings and you could use a lot of different printers, all over the convention centre.

I would do it like this: 1. Make the necessary database 2. Make the necessary html pages (format files) 3. Make a simple script which starts everytime someone adds a new person to the DB, the server will print a copy of the designated layout (preferably the badge). 4. Make another script which prints the badge everytime you alters the information of an entrant. This solution would require you to have a centralized printing place. That's the down-part of it, it should work fine otherwise. [if this really is a stupid suggestion, plz ignore me, I'm too tired to think straight]

From what I have understood, FMP is very good at handling that amount of traffic you're talking about. Where I work, we mainly use it inhouse for our

Well, it depends on what kind of ISO encoding FM want's to use for that task, which is not always the same encoding for every task. A good example is that the hex characters work in links and forms, but not in InlineActions. This may not be the case everytime, you have to try to see how it works out. But in general, try to avoid High-ISO characters. If you absolutely must use them in the database, you could make a relational database with all the different cities (in your example) and give them a number: 1. Berlin 2. K

The server is broken...

I've got a nasty problem... I want to use high-ISO characters like

Check out our site: http://www.telecom-idag.com It's in Swedish, but you'll get the idea of how an entire site can be built with CDML and Filemaker.

A good example of what you would like to do with a free language other than CDML is using the language built-in capabilities of handling different things (such as calculations, images...). But you're not willing to pay for the use of Lasso.

Try Amazon.com

It can be any SMTP server you have access to. So, you can use: mail.gmx.net as your MailHost-

Oh, I forgot... When you start using XML, you don't want to switch back to older languages since it's just a little kick-*** language from the other side... Seriously: XML is a very good language, CDML is not. But CDML is easy to use, XML is not. You can create stunning things with CDML, just a couple of days after you first start using it. That's not exactly the situation with XML.
