I see within FileMaker Pro you can adjust the text font, size and color of a field, which works great. Although when I view the same records via my CDML coded web pages, all the text looks the same. Is there a way to get the font, size and color to carry over to CDML/Web? Or am I just doing something wrong? Thanks, -- Walter

Christian, That seems to be the way I'll need to do it. I've created a new field just for the URL links only. In my original message above, what I was really looking to do was to enable a clickable link within a field that also contained other data, not just the URL. Thanks! -- Walter

I hope these are a couple of easy questions. I've looked through the forums and didn't find what I was looking for - but I may have missed it. 1. I'm publishing a database using CMDL to a website. When there is a URL listed in one of the fields it's listed as just plain text. I would like this URL to be a clickable link. Is there a simple way to do this using a tag or something within the field itself? 2. These links and URL's will be pointing to PDF's for the most part. Outside of keeping the PDF's in a directory and linking to them - is there a better way to go about this? I would like to "import" the PDF into the database, but have not found a way to house PDF files within FMP (like in a container or something). Any information would be great! Walter

Hello all, I'm new to FileMaker Pro (and database design for that matter). I'm looking to create a very simple knowledge base to use on our Intranet. Wanting to do the right thing, I was thinking of creating at least 3 files and try to normalize the data. Below are the fields created in each file. FIle-1: Title Issue Solution Additional_Information Document_ID Creation_Date Modified_Date Product_ID Module_ID File-2: Product ID Product_Name File-3: Module ID Module_Name Now, with the following files I have created relationships between the main file (File-1) and the Product ID to the Product ID in FIle-2. The name thing for the Module ID and FIle-3. A couple of questions. 1. Is this a smart database design? I know it's simple, but I wanted to try to normalize the data, hence File-2 and File-3. What should I do different. 2. My MAIN question, how do I then display the data in File-2 using CDML, when most of the data is coming from FIle-1. I can do this from FileMaker by just creating a field in my form, picking the file and field I want to display. I have not been able to get this working using CDML. Some of the things I've tried is: Product Name: [FMP-Field: File-2::Product_Name] Product Name: [FMP-Field: ::Product_Name] How do I associate this using CDML? Any advice would be great. Sorry if there's too much or not enough detail in this post. -- Walter

Sorry folks -- I didn't see the CDML forum before posting here. If I don't find the answer in that forum, I will repost there. Thanks, -- Walter
