  1. Thanks for the tip. It worked. Don
  2. I'm not new to Filemaker, but with ver 10 I wanted to make a dedicated effort to understand the principles behind the bundled Starter Solutions. I figured I might pick up a tip or two from Filemaker. Unfortunately Filemaker does not seem to have documented the code and or the solutions well. Their simple 1 page description just doesn't hack it. As an example: the Contact Management Solution has invisible text boxes in the Record List form. I kind of figured that when I saw it, but I had the dickens of a time finding them until someone on Technet mentioned using Shift-click to click off the text boxes in front of the invisible Button box and THEN to click only on one of the four corners of the "invisible box". No documentation from Filemaker themselves on this. Furthermore, if you dig through their code, you'll see they rotate in and out icons that indicate which way Company, Phone, Email, etc. is being sorted. Great, but no where can I find where the global field g_HilliteLibrary is being populated. This is really poor documentation - no make that non-existent documentation. Is there any existing documentation and/or white papers explaining the logic behind the included applications? Don
  3. Has anyone interfaced ACT's SQL data files with FM 8.5 or 9? We currently use ACT for our CRM. While not 100% of what we need, it does most of what we need. If we could interface the two it may bring it closer to 100%. Thanks, Don
  4. Rod, Perhaps you can help me out. We want to create a web form that will allow people to answer questions within a certain time limit. I see you have a script for a timer. It runs on my Windows XP machine, but I can't see the open the scripts. Are they locked or is it because you designed them on a Mac. If it is the later, and you'd be willing to share them, perhaps you can send me the text file. My e-mail address is donc@crcdelivers.com. Thx! don
  5. We need to be able to quickly switch back and forth from a table (or portal view) to the form view while staying on the same record. I saw something a while back about programming this in Filemaker Advisor, but lost the article. How can I do this? ;)
