Hello, we are running FMServer 5.5 on Windows 2000 Server. The FMserver service was using Administrator to start up. We changed this by creating a "fmserver" user and giving it all necessary rights (we think) to start the service. However, since this change, we keep getting the following in our backup log (We use Backup Exec 9): WARNING: "C:Documents and SettingsfilemakerLocal SettingsTempFMSERVER.TMP" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify. WARNING: "C:Documents and SettingsfilemakerLocal SettingsTempRemote Administrationfmserver_Admin" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify. WARNING: "C:Documents and SettingsfilemakerLocal SettingsTempRemote Administrationfmserver_Data" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify. WARNING: "C:Documents and SettingsfilemakerLocal SettingsTempRemote Administrationfmserver_Usage" is a corrupt file. This file cannot verify. How do we fix this? We are able to get into the Remote Admin database with no problems and our scheduled backups are working fine but we would like to get rid of these error messages. Thanks, Constance

Thanks, that worked wonderfully!

Let me try this again. Category Type is a Text Field with the three categories HW, SW and SR. Once the user selects either HW, SW or SR for this field, the calculated Invoice # should be filled in automatically by the calculation below. I have a field called calculated Invoice # set up as a Number with the option to auto enter a calculation. The calculation is as follows: Case(Category Type="HW" ,Right(DateToText(Date),2)&"01"&HWNUM,Category Type="SW",Right(DateToText(Date),2)&"02"&SWNUM, Category Type="SR",Right(DateToText(Date),2)&"03"&SRNUM ) The HWNUM, SWNUM and SRNUM are set up as number fields with the option of auto entering a serial number starting at 100 (this is where I made an error in my previous example). The problem is that every new record, all three numbers increase. I only want the corresponding number to increase. If I enter a hardware invoce, I want the HWNUM to increase by 1 and SWNUM and SRNUM to stay what they were... Hopefully I have explained it better this time. Thanks,

I basically want to make people's life easier by running a script that will take the current record, put it into a different layout in preview mode so that they can check to make sure it looks fine and then print it. eg. A person enters a new invoice in layout 1 where there are a lot of other fields besides what needs to be printed. The person wants to preview the invoice before printing it out to make sure all the data is there or correct etc.

Hi, I have a field (invoice serial number) that I have to fill out automatically with the following criteria last two numbers of the current year two numbers for the type of invoice determined by a lookup table last three numbers are sequential. For example, I have a hardware invoice, software invoice and service invoice. The hardware invoice should be coded with 01 given that the type field is set to HW. The software invoice should be coded with 02 given that the type field is set to SW and the service invoice should be coded with 03 given that the type field is SR. This is easy enough but the last three digits are to be sequential for each type. eg: Hardware invoices starting at number 100 Software invoices starting at number 200 Service invoices starting at 300 this is easy enough by setting up a number field for each type of invoice starting with 100 and getting filemaker to increase the value by 1 and add the result to the 2 digit year and 2 digit code. The problem is that every time a new record is entered, all these numbers are increased. I only want the number corresponding to the particular type of invoce entered to increase. Hopefully this makes sense. Any thoughts? Here's an example of what I want the final product to be record 1 hardware invoice with s/n 0201100 record 2 software invoice with s/n 0202100 record 3 software invoice with s/n 0201101 record 4 service invoice with s/n 0103100 Thanks in advance, Constance

Hi, I want to set up a script that will change layouts from browse to preview and bring up the record that was being browsed. Every time I set up a script, the record that the script previews is the first record in the database. How do I tell the script that I want the current record to be previewed? Thanks, Constance

Hello Everyone, we have a Windows 2000 workstation with 1 GB RAM and 30GB hard drive that we have tried to installe FileMaker 5.5 Pro on. After the install, when trying to open FileMaker, we do not get anything. IF you look in Task Manager, the filemaker executable is running but nothing comes on the screen. Has anyone ran into this before? Thanks in advance, Constance
