Hi James, many thanks for your suggestion and sample scripting. The field validation is also used in my XSLT web pages and works OK. I will look into disabling field validation (which I never really liked to begin with) and using your suggested scripting for both the network users and the web users. When completed, I will report back with the details........Ray

I am having a problem with the script below. It executes fine when there are no data entry errors. I have set Error Capture Off to allow FileMaker to detect fields that were defined to have a required value. After I enter the data (leaving a field blank) and click "Continue" it presents the standard FileMaker "Revert Record Yes/No" message and pauses. When I select "No" it places the cursor in the empty field. After entering the data and clicking "Continue" it does not return me to the script to enter the department. How can I return to the script to complete it?? Thanks for any assistance. Create New Participant Record #Setting "Allow User Abort" to Off removes the cancel button when a script pauses. Allow User Abort [ Off ] #Set "Set Error Capture" Off Set Error Capture [ Off ] #Select layout for new participant record Go to Layout [ “Participant Form New Registration Part-1” (Web_TA_Participant_DB) ] Enter Browse Mode New Record/Request #Set Department field to "Select Department" Set Field [ Web_TA_Participant_DB::Department; "Select Department" ] #Enter the participants demographic data with the exception of the department. Pause/Resume Script [ Indefinitely ] #Select department for new Participant record Go to Layout [ “Participant Form New Registration Part-2” (Web_TA_Participant_DB) ] Pause/Resume Script [ Indefinitely ] Go to Layout [ “Participant Form” (Web_TA_Participant_DB) ] Enter Browse Mode Show All Records Adjust Window [ Resize to Fit ]

Many thanks BruceR, worked like a charm!.......Ray

I am logged into a FM 10 Advanced client with admin privileges and click on the Scripts > Manage Scripts menu and my menu set changes to one of the custom menu sets I have created with less than admin privileges and I am unable to copy a set of script steps. What I want to do is copy the set of script steps and paste them into a thread here in order to ask for some help with the script. Any suggestions will be appreciated. :bang:

Update: This [color:orange][color:blue]xsl page coding works with the script below. The parameter is passed correctly. ======================================= [color:red] ======================================= Here is the [color:orange][color:blue]FileMaker script that executes correctly: =============================== [color:red]Allow User Abort [On] [color:red]Set Variable [$VarTest; Value: Get( ScriptParameter )] =============================== The problem that I am having now is I want to pass a parameter with delimited fields and parse the parameter in the script. What do I use for the delimiter designation and what do I use to parse this parameter in the script. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated…….

Finally had a chance to try the -script and -script.param parameters with the get(scriptparameter) function and have not been able to retrieve the passed parameter. Here is the form I am using in my XSLT page that executes the FileMaker script: ========================================= event_added.xsl [color:red] ======================================= Here is the FileMaker script that is executed: =============================== Allow User Abort [On] Set Field [Web_TA-Registration_DB::EventIDVar; Get ( ScriptParameter ) =============================== I have placed the EventIDVar field in the specified layout and the passed parameter does not display after the script executes. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated....Ray

That was the "comment" I was looking for!! Many thanks..............Ray

efen, thanks for your reply, I will try to clarify. In my XSLT page I use a form that creates a new registration and executes a script after the (-new) query command completes. The form has a (-script.param) that passes a parameter to the script in the FileMaker table. My question is how do I access/use this parameter......Ray

Once again I am back to this esteemed FileMaker forum for a bit of help. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. I am using the -script and -script.param query parameters to run a FileMaker script and pass parameters to that script. My question is how do I access these parameters in my script??.........Ray

Thanks Tom, i did exactly as you suggested. Yesterday I searched the web and came up with the three packages you laid out. I contacted two of them and received excellent communications back from 360Works. I have one more question. Do you create a FileMaker script, using the plug-in, that you access from your web page to issue the confirmation email? Thanks again for your help........Ray

Many thanks for enlightening me Tom, I will be updating to Server 10 Advanced in the not too distant future along with updating our 6-year old Apple database server. In the meantime I will search for a plug-in, do you have any recommendations?............Ray

I am having difficulty grasping how to generate a email to the individual confirming they have registered for one of our events. I would like to generate this email when I generate the web page confirming the registration. The email would contain some basic information about the event. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.... Ray

Update on problem with loading Admin Console from Win XP client using FM Pro Advanced 9.0.3. In order to get Admin Console to run on this client I had to uninstall Java 6, Update 15. This left the most current version of Java 6 at update 7. Thanks again Steven for your guidance.........Ray

Good news, just finished installing the 9.0.3.326 update to the server and it corrected the problem with the Admin Console. My Windows XP client also requires a patch in order for the Admin Console to run correctly. Unfortunately, when you run this patch you need the original FileMaker Pro 9.0 Advanced (in my case) installation disk in order to complete the update. My disk is at home so I will have to run it tomorrow. Many thanks Steven for your guidance in resolving this problem..........Ray

Steven, you hit the "nail on the head" so to speak. It didn't take long searching the FileMaker knowledge base to discover the following: ========= Question: Why does my Admin Console refuse to launch? Answer: Issue: The FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced Admin Console will fail to run on machines that install Java 6 on Mac OS 10.5.x. Customers will see the Start page but the Admin Console won’t launch when clicking on the “Launch Admin Console” button. If FileMaker Server 9 or FileMaker Server 9 Advanced is installed on a Mac OS 10.5.x system with Java 6 pre-installed then invoking the Deployment Assistant as part of the installation process will fail to run. In other words, FileMaker Server 9 and FileMaker Server 9 Advanced will not install. NOTE: Once Java 6 is installed, it can not be uninstalled. Platform Affected: Any Server Administrative Client running Mac OS 10.5.x (Leopard) with a 64bit processor (Intel Core 2 Duo) and Java 6 installed. Solutions and Workarounds: Workaround: * Run the Admin Console remotely on a Windows client or a Mac client without Java 6. Solution for existing installation: * Download the FileMaker Server or FileMaker Server Advanced update and follow instructions in Readme that explain where to put the files. Note: Update must be applied to FileMaker Server 9v3 or FileMaker Server 9v3 Advanced. Customers that have FileMaker Server 9.0v1 or FileMaker Server 9.0v1 Advanced must first update to 9.0v2, then update to 9.0v3, and finally apply the update 9.0.3.326. Solution for new installation: * Download FileMaker Server 9.0.3.32x or FileMaker Server 9.0.3.32x Advanced * Any Server Administrative Client running Mac OS 10.5.x (Leopard) with a 64bit processor (Intel Core 2 Duo) Important Click here if you are running FileMaker Server 9 with Java 6 Update 10. ================================================ I would like to add that a client running windows XP and Java 6.0.07 can load the Admin Console but any of the features that access the database, clients etc will cause the program to abort. I will download the patch recommended and report back the results...........Ray
