Hi! I use an import scrip step to import data from MS SQL 2000. It works fine when NOT in a runtime solution. But when i converted it using FM DEV 7 to a runtime solution, i get a "Import script cancelled". Any idea why? Thanks!

Hi there! I hope this is the right place to post this question. I am using filemaker 7 for about 3 days now, im trying to export the data to an SQL SERVER database, but it only exports the first data, i even tried to show all the records but still the same, i also tried to create a loop from the first record up to the last but still it only exports the 1st record. below is my query or should i say script: -Show All records -EXECUTE SQL "INSERT INTO dnc (phonenumber) Values (" & DNC::Phonenumber & " )" hope you can help me thnx!

You mean I'll use the web publishing plugin? Actually I'm trying to test it out on our network, the results are not that good. It dosn't show custom dialog box, other calculations and the most important, 3rd party plugins won't work. Do you have any links on a tutorial of customizing the web publishing? What is lasso? Is it easy to use?

Hi! I don't know if this is the right place to ask this question, hope you don't mind it at all. But anyway, I have a very very very BIG problem right now. My company wants to shift from Windows to Linux. Actually, almost 1/4 of out PCs are already running on Mandrake and Redhat. Is there anyway I can run Filemaker client on a Linux environment? Right now I'm testing it on WINE, It runs - single user mode, but i need it to work on 30 users using TCP/IP. Any Idea? Thanx!

Hi! I've never tried using FM ver 4 before... but i hope this would help... Why not export your data first on a different format, like .dbf or .csv??? from there, try importing the data to your fp4 solution. Not sure this would work, but at least try it... Let me know if it worked

Unfortunately, this is not possible .....yet... Although you can run a script when it loses focus (like the lose focus event in VB) using the events plugin

How about making a calc field containing the list of all your fields: Example: a calc field named c_finder contains field1 & " " & field2 &" " & field3 ... Search through that field

I think it doesn't have any limit, as long as you have hard disk space. As of now, I have 234 Scripts in one DB and 100+ Field. Just in case you don't want to have too many fields like temp field, use a plugin called oAuzium Variables.

How about using winrar instead of winzip

Sorry, but i don't get it.. What's the purpose of importing from file A to file B, just to have same/exact records for both file? Are those files different from each other? or identical? Are you doing this to create a backup? Why not use relationships? It's easier and i think... a lot faster.

You could speed up calculations or finds by indexing your records. HOWEVER, most calc fields cannot be indexed (those data relying on another calculation field). I would suggest you take at oAuzium Variables Plug-in found at www.wmotion.com. I use this plugin to create a "virtual field" or even array instead of creating a calc field. Computation/Calculation will be done in memory not in hard disk (which is definitely faster). However, this can only be done through a script... Hope this helps

In Windows, it's Holding shift while opening the database

Speaking of Developer tools, What other developer tools / debugger would you recommend? I would preffer affordable ones... Thanx!

You mean a same-file relationship? Does having too many portals slows down the performance? as of now,I have 4 portals showing up on the screen, If I add another one, i'm afraid it would slow it down?

Have any one created a "tree view" in Filemaker? Just like the tree view object in Visual Basic? in List Mode.... I know it is possible to make "tree view" using portals. But I wan't to use them in a List View (View as List) Mode. I have an email client (sort of) database in filemaker, and I want to create a tree view on the left side for Inbox, Outbox, Sent etc... just like in Outlook. Any Ideas? Any sample files? Thank you!

By the way, are you the guy who designed Computer Admin Pro?

It worked! Thanks... But my new problem is.... When downloading mail from the mail server, i can't do anything... i can't click on buttons, go to other layouts perform buttons... etc.... hmmm... anyway. thanks alot!

How about zipping up your files before putting it on the container field....at least you save up some space

In addition to your second question, you may also look at oAzium Events Plugin (www.wmotion.com) You can trigger your scripts to run upon exiting a field, creating new records or scheduling your scripts to run a specified date/time.

You may also use a Troi Activator Plug-in to send a message to the user viewing the locked record. This is nice especially if the user viewing that record is far from you

I use Dacons Mail.it for quite some time now. I use it to check email every 1 minute.How do I stop that nasty progress bar screen from showing up. I don't want my users to be bothered by those nag screens / progress bar screens. Is there anyway of hiding it? thnx
