Never mind i found a previous post which helped solve this problem.

I have a database which lists a library. The authors are in a different database and the 2 are linked. In my library database i have a layout which has a portal which displays all the authors for the record. When i do a search in the library database for an author, the only records that are retrieved are the ones where the author is in the first portal row. How can i search every row of the portal? Thanks

I have a database which is running on FMpro 4 and i have a field which stores the URL of PDF documents which will be hosted on my machine. To open the pdf document, I use an <A href="[FMP-field]"></A> (i can't remember the exact syntax but that isn't the problem) . When i click on it, the user is asked immediatly if he wishes to save the document (the open file from location option is not available). here is the problem; the document is encoded as a html document. I have tried the different variations in the A HREF such as Raw, URL, HTML and they all behave the same. Could this be a FMpro4 problem, maybe it can't recognize PDF?

I am new to the whole database design and web site design/create. I have finished designed a database using FM4 and i want to publish it on the web. I have the web companion running now but i want to expand and do a custom web page to view/edit my database. Here are my questions: 1) I am stumped as to which language i should use to write my web page. I am aware that CDML code must be used to work with the FM database but is there any advantages to write my page in PHP or would XHTML work just fine. 2) I would have a group of general users who i don't want to have access to editing the database and a group (administrator) who can edit/add record ...the works. Would PHP handle this or should FM take care of that? 3) I also have a set of scripts written in FM and wonder if i could run those scripts from the web or do i have to rewrite them in my web page? 4) I have a field for every record that includes a URL. How would i open that URL, in CDML or PHP (I am seriously web handicapped) 5) Please feel free to give advice which you might think i have overlooked. Thank you in advance
