field label becomes timer when preceded by ::
kmsitall replied to kmsitall's topic in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)
oops, I knew those were there, just had never typed 'em in by hand. . . thanks! -
Not a question, just wondering if anyone's familiar with this. . . While working on a new layout, I changed the label of a field (not the fieldname itself) by preceding it with two colons " : " (to remind myself that it was a related field). In Layout mode, no change was apparent. But when I switched back to Browse mode, the label itself had become a dynamic timer. It clicks off hours,minutes,seconds every time you switch records !! hmmmm. . . .

remove duplicate numbers from inside one field?
kmsitall replied to kmsitall's topic in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)
Hi Andy: I think I understand your suggestion. But when I gave this a try, the value list contains the values entered in the page field for all records. So this actually compounds the problem. I'm trying to eliminate the duplicate values within each record. Did I miss something? Kathleen -
This might be simple, but I'm just not getting it. (FMP v.6 Mac 9.2) I have a text field containing a series of page numbers to build a book index. There are often multiple instances of the same page number for a subject, and I want to have a field which I can later export that will not contain any duplicates. e.g., 3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 12, 20, 30, 100 should become: 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 20, 30, 100 Any suggestions much appreciated!

how do I retain zero after a decimal ?

how do I retain zero after a decimal ?
kmsitall posted a topic in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)
Novice has question. (Mac OS 9.2, FMPro v.6) I'm using two fields to show height and width dimensions in centimeters. I then use a calculation to combine the two numbers as a descriptive phrase: "45.1 x 33.1 cm". I'm using ROUND to limit the decimal to one place. However, when the decimal rounds to 0 (zero), the 0 is dropped in the calculation result. (e.g., 22.02 shows up as 22, but I need it to show as 22.0). I'm just not getting how to do this. Thanks in advance. -
I've only just joined the forum so maybe I'm missing something. . . but *is* there a more specific date for the release of Developer 6?? Thanks.
