Ignore my last post. I just realized are was using the wrong decode function...appologies

Hi I have a webservice that returns a cv document or the cv text as base64. I have tried to run it through the scriptmaster base64 decode function but it does not return any readable text. I have attached the result i get from the webservice. Does anyone know what the problem is? Many Thanks xmlResult.txt

Does anyone know if an interface file on filemaker go looking at a data file on a server that is using ess can see the data pulled from SQL using ess? So the data file is configured to use ess and then I have an interface file that will be used by filemaker GO as a front end.

If your Filemaker suddenly stops working and you have exhausted all other possible causes. Try updating your Internet explorer or uninstall and reinstall your Internet explorer. I had a case where a faulty ieframe.DLL registry entry was causing filemaker to crash and doing above seemed to solve the issue.

Hi Callto option may not work any longer as there are some legal issues with skype using it. I spoke to skype support and they said you can use this format (see below). It works for me but you need to make sure your are signed into your skype account already and you have to include the country code as part of the number. Just load this into your webviewer or use open URL. Hope this helps skype:$yournumber

Hi Ok i managed to get around the issue by placing my new files in the sample folder and they now show up in console....so must have been an issue with the folder permissions even though they looked ok....thanks for your help.

Hi Thanks...no all permissions and hosted database numbers are ok. There is however an error when i close the admin console that says "MMC has detected an error in a snap-in. It is recommended that you shut down and restart MMC"

Hi Thanks for your reply...the new files have different names. The folder was duplicated but contents emptied and new files with different names inserted.

Hi I have searched myself blue in the face looking for a post about this but unable to find anything. Can some point me to a previous post or if you know how i can solve this problem. I have FMS 8 running on an xp machine service pack 3. I have one folder ( HRS) that contains filemaker files and is shown in FMS 8 console fine. I have closed the files in console and duplicated the folder and renamed it ( newFiles) and placed some new files in this folder. I have gone to console and refreshed but this new folder does not show. I have restarted the machine and this also does not show the new folder in the console. I have checked the security on the folders and they are exactly the same as the the folder that is working. What more can i do?

Client machines can ping the server and IIS is active on the server as clients access the server through terminal services web connection. There is a fully qualified domain name. I can see the hosted files from across the internet using both the external IP and the domain name but the client machines can't. The IT guy has said that the client machines are separated from the server by a switch. I also have an jpg of the network setup which may be of some use but i am not sure how to get this image to you.

I have a client running FMP 9 on windows 7 on a local network. All machines could see the server with the server appearing in local host. Now for some reason the server can not be seen with local host or favourite host....but on one machines you can open the hosted file using "open recent" but try the same on one of the other machines and it says the file could not be found. Windows firewall is off on the client machines with no other security software managing the firewall. I have replaced the server.pem file and this to yielded no result. I can see the hosted file from out side their local network across the internet but I am using FMPA 11 on a vista machine. Is this issue related to FMP 9 not being support on Windows 7 and is there a quick fix to get this working again?

Many Thanks guys...turning the hardware acceleration down worked

This is a strange one. I have a client who when they click into a field the data looks like it disappears...when you come out of the field the data reappears......this also happens in find mode, when you click into a field and start typing the search criteria you cannot see the text entered until you exit the field. There is no script trigger or conditional formatting on the field. It happens to any field on the screen. Client is using FMP 11 on an XP service pack 3 machine. It looks like it only happens on this machine as when testing from another machine there is no problem....does anyone know what is happening here

Hi Thanks again....Ok I have used WASetRequestHeader and WASetRawPostData and got a result of 1 which is fine. I am not sure what url I am supposed to use. I am supposed to receive a token if authentication passes. According to documentation i am working with these are the headers. POST /webserviceauthenticator.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: webservices.seek.com.au Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length SOAPAction: "http://webservices.seek.com.au/AuthenticateWS" Here is my calc. It returns 1 but how do i see the actual response? WAReset and WASetRequestHeader ( "Post" ; "/webserviceauthenticator.asmx HTTP/1.1" ) and WASetRequestHeader ( "Content-Type:" ; "text/xml; charset=utf-8" ) and WASetRequestHeader ( "Content-Length: " ; "1000" ) and WASetRequestHeader ( "SOAPAction:" ; "http://webservices.seek.com.au/AuthenticateWS" ) and WASetRawPostData ( "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> username password Uploader ") and WAGetUrl("http://webservices.seek.com.au" ) and WAGetResponseHeader ( "Post" )

Thankyou for your help

Can web assistant handle authentication to a server using soap. example would be... SOAP Request POST /webserviceauthenticator.asmx HTTP/1.1 Host: webservices.seek.com.au Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8 Content-Length: length SOAPAction: "http://webservices.seek.com.au/AuthenticateWS" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> string string string

Hi all So are you saying that if you have a pause indefinitively script ( scriptA) running and that when scriptA is terminated from the button properties when perform another script ( exit current script )...that all parameters held by ScriptA are now lost. So the only way to get parameters passed on beyond a loop Pause indefinitely EnndLoop script is to now use $$Variables. A real pity as it worked so well in FMP10

Hi I have a looping script which holds a parameter that was passed to it by another script. The loop script is a simple loop with a pause. Loop Pause indefinetly EndLoop I then have a button on my layout that performs another script and the parameter is set ot get ( scriptparameter), the button properties are set to exit current script. In FMP 10 the parameter is passed from the loop script onto the script on the button but with FMP 11 it does not. Is there a reason for this? is this a bug? Can anyone duplicate this? This happens on both my PC Vista and Mac 10.5.8 using FMP 11 adv Regards Kev

Hi Yes there is a system setting in control panels under "Regional and langues settings" but filemaker seems to ignore it. Word and other programs still use default keyboard except filemaker

Mainly happens on Windows xp using filemaker 8.5 and 9. It could be happening on Vista to.

HI My clients are reporting this "bug" more and more and I cannot seem to figure out if it is my solution or a bug in filemaker. What seems to be happening is the default keyboard changes to USA if UK was default.This only seems to be the case in filemaker eg In flemaker ( UK keybaord is default ) you select Shift 2 and expect to get a " but instead you get a @ but then you go to word and select shift 2 and you get a " Why if you have UK as default keyboard do you get an @ symbl when yo select shift 2. I cannot test this bug as it seems to happen randomly. Could the system formats affect this. It looks like the system formats only look at date time and number formats and not keyboard...is this correct. Anyone had this isse before?

I have a similar problem. I am using windows XP. We have our database hosted using FMS 8 and I am using FMP 9 advanced on the client machine. The first pdf is created fine. The first append to pdf function works fine but on the 2nd append to pdf I get filemaker error 800. I am saving to a folder on my desktop but when I use a folder on my c drive it is ok I did the same test using my mac and there was no problem...did you get any answers?

Hi Yip tried uninstalling and reinstalling.Also tried swapping monitors...still does the same thing. I do not think it is data corruption as the computer that is giving this problem is also hosting the file and all other users can log on fine and use the database with no problems. What about the graphics card?

Just wondering whether you have every come across the following: FileMaker (on Windows) opens but most of the graphics do not display and access to the fields doesn't seem to show any movement. However, if you un-maximise the screen and drag the corners about, it displays perfectly, until you move to another layout. Any ideas???

The exe files are in their own folder in the system32 folder. Do I need to take them out of their own folders and put them directly into the system32 folder.
