What about if the users add or modify layouts? This method will not work for this case will it?

How does anyone upgrade their software to their users without having to import data all the time? (Especially when they are small fixes)

I need to run a patch to upgrade my scripts in my custom Fmp 8 software. In this patch, I need to revise scripts in multiple linked databases. I can not find a way to AUTOMATE the EXPORT of my updated scripts into the existing scripts of the existing databases.

Yes, I am sure 7.0 is slower because I develop on Macs and PC's and it has been anywhere from 10X to 50x slower on both machines and it does not matter which processor I use. Pop-up lists and printing are extremely slow. I have been told to up the memory cache on the Windows machines and told to use pop-up windows to replace the pull down lists. - D

It is a Dell 4600C and to the other post, thanks for the advice on the memory cache - I will try tomorrow and let all know.

On our brand new Pentium 4 dual 1 GHZ processor FM7 is so incredibly slow that our old Pentium II 200 GHZ flies runs 10X faster using FM 5. We have 10,000 + records that we access through a pull down list to make work orders. The "pop-up" list is a HUGE wait and with people holding on the phone in this quick age -- this is a problem. FM 's website had identified this problem and said we should use Pop-Up windows. I kind of addressed this in a work around -- but it takes more steps to get there for the user. 2nd, when printing a 50 page summary, what use to take 25 mins in FM5, now takes over 3 hours (I finally left the office & left the printer running). I heard this was due to FM7 converting files to PDF and then printing. Hey, if postscript is 10X faster, why wouldn't they at least give us the option? Even one page takes 10 mins! I feel like I have mud all over my face suggesting that we upgrade our equipment and software to be more proficient. This is NOT good. [color:"green"] [color:"green"]
