This field works withing filemaker but when I export the database to an xsl format the field just remains empty. The only way I have been able to get the date to show up is by setting the field to "modification date" which creates a problem when someone goes to edit the record. Anyone know how to fix this problem?

Yes these fields should only contain numbers and never text. If someone entered text into these fields by accident it would make the worksheet invalid.

Is there a way under the "define database" option to change multiple field types at once. I want to change around 30 text fields to Numeric only fields. Ive tired selecting multiple fields by holding down shift, but it will not let me change their "field type" options. Anyone know of another way?

I am a newbie to XSL so Javascript is something I know nothing about. The clients do make the decesion if the entry will be emailed or not. We have one field that if it is not left blank, then the email should be sent. Is it possible to send the email if a field is anything but empty?

Thanks Martin. I think I have it working but I want to create and extra button beside "Submit" called "Submit and Email", because not all entrys into the database need to be emailed just certain ones. Is this possible?

Attached is the XSL file we use when adding records to our database. I want to add a button at the bottom of the sheet for "Save and Email". I want this button to send an email with Subject=Store and Taken by, Summary of Problem, and Equipmentneeded in the body of the email. Can anyone lend some insight into how to do this? addrecord.zip

I am having this same exact problem. When I use <input> fields then it pulls the information fine, but if the fields are <textarea> fields then it does not pull the information. Sorry did not see the replies. Got it, thanks.

We wanted to make our filemaker pro database accessible to our help desk through a web interface, so I exported the database to xslt style sheets to make it available. Is this the best method for making this database available? Also is there a way to set user names and passwords on xslt sites?

I am having this same problem. I have filemaker pro 7 and filemaker 7 advanced server runnin the the machine. Any help?

I am having this same exact problem and Ive tried restarting the computer and restarting the service as you stated.
