When I had a similar problem with FM6, I downloaded the web companion update.

This may be a silly question, but with it only printing on half the paper, is it set to 2 per page?

The easiest answer is is a web browser based remote access program for your PC (Go To My PC, Log Me In, etc). Other options, multi-user and web companion, require configuring your network settings and can get a little confusing.

Let me start by saying that these applescripts worked last year before I moved to a newer Mac (both OSX). I have run these three scripts in the script editor, and they work fine. I'm thinking it may have something to do with permissions, but I can't remember. 1.tell application "FileMaker Pro" set chooseFile to cell "PathName" of current record of database "SRename.fp5" end tell tell application "Finder" set name of file chooseFile to "Rename.txt" end tell 2.do shell script "sudo chmod -R a+wr /Users/redcent/Sites/Documents/Rename.txt" password "******" with administrator privileges 3.tell application "FileMaker Pro" set newName to cell "FileName" of current record of database "SRename.fp5" end tell tell application "Finder" set name of file "Macintosh HD:Users:redcent:Sites:Documents:Rename.txt" to newName end tell I'm thinking it may have something to do with permissions, but I can't remember. Please help. Jane

I gave up on trying to figure this out and decided to go with CWP.

Thank you!

Garry, I copied your javascript, but I have no javascript understanding. What needs to be changed to change the number of columns?

If you turn on Instant Web Publishing, and look at the pages it generates, you can get a good idea. You need to change the reference from "/FMRes/FMPJS?" to "/FMPro?". I found this out by refering to old FM4 documentation.

I'm trying to make a submit button that submits the new record and changes to a different layout. The status area is hidden. I can make the button submit the new record with Exit Record/Request, and I can make it swith layouts with Go to Layout(Order Submitted). But when I put them together, it won't work. File maker help says both steps will work in multi-step scripts. Any ideas?

See Suppressing the Instant Web Publishing Interface in FileMaker Help. This uses the Toggle Status Area (Hide)script step.
