database

Oh boy. I'm a little confused. So what I need to do is make a button where the script says PageSetUp [ ] . But wouldn't I also need another button whose script says Print[ ]?

For anyone who wants to know... I spoke with a database consultant by phone and he told me that in Fpro 6 v 4, no matter what I do, the photos won't show over the network. They'll only show on the computer that's hosting the photos folder. He said FPro 7 makes it better, but it's still not perfect.

THANK YOU!!! I will try that Monday and hopefully it will work!!! Thanks again!!!

Thank you so much for helping me Queue. I only need one setup. All of the pages print on the same size paper and through the same color printer. So that isn't a problem. The problem is that the script doesn't seem to remember the printer and page set up that I set up when I made the script. Do you know what I am doing wrong? It just doesn't seem to save the setups that I make for it. But it used to remember that, or at least it seemed to. but anyway, now I've got to fix it. So how should I do that? Can I tell it in the script itself which printer and page size to use? Do you think putting a button that says change printer is the best thing to do? Then they have to press the button first, and then the next button to print their picture profiles? Thanks again!

Thanks for your help. Here are the details: We have three page designs, one designed for a page without photos, one for a page with one photo and the last design for a page with two photos. Once we find the records we are looking for, the script is supposed to go through each record, see if it has photos, see how many, and print the page layout that is appropriate for the number of photos. It should print on the fancy color printer. (Usually the computers are set up to print on the black and white one.) Here is the script. I had to retype it. Sorry but I couldn't tab. Go to Record/Request/Page [First] Loop If [isEmpty(Project Photo 1)] Go to Layout [Profile-X] Page Setup [Restore setup options, No dialog] Print [No dialog] Else If[isEmpty(Project Photo 2)] Go to Layout [Profile-1] Print [No Dialog] Else Go to Layout [Profile-2] Print [No Dialog] End if End If Go to Record/Request/Page [Next, Exit after last] End Loop Go to Layout [original layout]

I am having a problem printing with the right page size set up and on the right printer when I use my script (which worked before the computer crashed multiple times and the systems preferences files were pulled out and put back in days later...) I'm using a Mac OS 9.2 G3 which also acts as the network server. Program: Filemaker Pro 6 v 4. I use page set up to pick my paper size and then I chose the printer I want to use. Then I write a script to find various files/pages and print them. After writing the script I say OK. It asks me if I want to KEEP or REPLACE the existing printer setups and I say REPLACE. If I activate my script just then, it works fine, because the printer and page are already set. But later, after I've set my computer to use a different printer, or use a different page size, and I run my script, it does not remember my previous pagesize/printer set ups. It prints to the printer and uses the page size that I am currently set to use. Any ideas how to fix it? Am I doing something wrong? Have the crashes and/or preference files move made things bad? Thanks to anyone who can help.

Thank you all ever so much!!! I know I can insert them directly, and at the moment I have, but because there are so many photos, it has really slowed things down. So if I put the photos folder on another computer on the network, ideally my bosses, and set that folder to be shared, will I create more problems for myself by putting it on a computer running OSX? I don't know if that would cause problems since there can be multiple users on that system. Thanks again.

Thank you very much. I'm afraid to say I don't know how the other computers mount the photos. The computer we're using as a server is a G4 on OS9.2. On that computer, I have to keep the database files open and active on the desktop so the other computers can access the database via Remote Server. But I don't leave the "photos" folder open. Is that what I'm doing wrong? Or do I need to go into the other computers and set something so they can access remote "photos" folder? We're all on Mac, G4's. One uses OSX and the other uses OS 9.2 Thanks so much for anything you can tell me.

I am using Filemaker Pro 6 on a G4 Mac OS9 that is used from remote computers. I have attached photos (as a reference) from a folder to various containers throughout the database. When I go through the database, all of the photos are visible from my G4, however the other two computers in the network do not display the pictures in the container fields. The containers show the link text, like house.jpg or whatever, so I know it has some knowledge of the pictures, but the photos do not show up. I have checked the box "Store Compatable Graphics" on all of the computers on the network and it doesn't make any difference. What am I doing wrong? FileMaker Version: 6 Platform: Mac OS 9
