Thanks for your feedback. Something you said made me go back and relook. I changed the field to a global field and it resolved the copying issue. Thanks

I have a script that copies data from a text field that is setup as a checkbox. The checkbox pulls values from another table. However, when the script copies the data from the field is not only copies the checked data but any data that is currently in the field and previous data. For example: X Choice 1 X Choice 2 O Choice 3 The script will copy not just the 2 items checked but all 3. It then also copies any choices that may no longer be in the database. Running FMP 11 Advanced Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Bruce - wow...must have missed manners day or all the rain in WA has you down. BTW My company supports sponsors of FM Forums - we are 500+ strong. It only happens on summary reports being exported into Excel. However, it's not a particular report. I do have 9.0 v2. I will update to v3 and let you know if that helps any. I don't think v3 has any fixes for this but you never know. I wish I had more details but it has me baffled because it is so random. Thanks LaRetta

I am at a loss of what is causing my databases to randomly crash when exporting. I am doing nothing different when I ran other FM versions, it just started to happen when I upgraded. I am not sure if it's a 9.0 issue but like I said it never happened before. Anyone have any thouhts? Thanks

I created a new dbase in FM 9.0 with subsummary reports. Nothing fancy. Almost everytime I go to export the data (not save as) FM crashes. I have never had this issue with previous versions. Any ideas of what is causing this? I have tried remaking the database and the layout and niether work. Thanks

I watched the video and there was no mention of the ablity to export things like quicktime movies in container fields...is that possible? I think the plugin is great, just curious about exporting data from a container field. Thanks

When I said smarter...I meant than myself...

Thanks...that's what I thought but was hoping someone smarter out there had another way. I can't merge the data because it's for charting software. Thanks

I have a formulas that conc. 3 different fields and outputs as text. One field is text which is easy, the other is a percent and the other is a number. The problem is the number fields report as a raw number - like the percent will read .345233571535371531. I can round it but it still lacks the % and doesn't read right. I want the percent to read as a percent and the number to read to one decimal and have a comma when appropriate. Any thoughts? Thanks

I want to recreate the drop down layout list that's on the status bar that only shows the layouts available to each user based on their access. I tried to find other topics but did not see any (probably there, just blind). Thanks for any help.

Is there a way (without having to recreate)if you have buttons setup to navigate through each page to not show those buttons for particular users? Thanks

Old Ad Man: Thanks that worked!

What am I missing? I have a file that I have the Network Sharing On for All Users. IWP on for all users. The file has 59 tables. When I go into my FMSA and try to open it, it won't open. I do have other files currently open that aren't related to the file and haven't exceeded the number of files allowed open at once. Any help would be appreciated. This should be simple. Thanks

We have an FTP site that I would like to include using Web Viewer. I can't seem to get it to work once published. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I had the same thing but put the header in and chose the color of the background of the layout and it all but resolved the problem. You do get a white line indicating the page break but it's better than the large white space...

Anyone know of a plugin (or way) that allows you to use a dial as a way to increase/decrease data? Same concept of a Slider but in Dial form. Thanks

Is it possible to switch a portal based on changing a value from a value list? i.e Let's say the user chooses store # 100 and there is a portal that lists all the items for that store. The user then chooses store # 105. Can the portal then be switched to the info housing store # 105? Thanks for any insights!

If you fax it to 1000 reps that's a lot of manual inputting when you get it back. I found a solution by using IWP to have the form filled out online. I needed to get familiar with IWP anyway so this is a perfect time. Thanks for the info. Patrick

I forgot to mention that I want it to look like the form. I don't want each field to have it's own column. Otherwise I have a file with 50 columns.

Can you export a form into Excel? I searched the topics and didn't see a solution. Basically I have a form that we currently fax to multiple vendors. Well I want that form to be downloaded into Excel. Each record would have it's own file so that may make it easier. Thanks for any help. Patrick

beautiful....thx

I have a file that I want to export pictures from a container field. I can export the information but the problem is I need to create a file for each picture and rename it to include the title which comes from another field. Anyone have any ideas of how to do this?

I have Freeze Window in ascript that runs several scripts. Each script also contains the Freeze Window. The problem is when the sorting records window pops up and then disappears it leaves a white box (looks like it hs erased whatever is behind it). Is there anything I can do to fix that? Thanks

OK. I got it to work. I swear I just tried the same things several times and it didn't work. Oh well.. I just turned off the indexing in the fornulas field and it worked.

I have a situation where I have a calc: GetNthRecord (Filed 1; Get (RecordNumber) - 1) The problen is the Get (RecordNumber) is pulling the record number as the info was imported. If I create a seperate field that only has Get (Record Number) and I "Do not store calculated results" it puts the correct record number of the found set. Is there a way to have the Get (RecordNumber) inside the formulas recognize the current records in the found set? If not how do I can I pull that record number in and have it look up the previous record? Thanks for any help...
