I'm having issues even with the "Include only related values starting from". My solution is very sluggish as well. I have a self-join relationship for navigating records that used to refresh seemingly instantaneously when I clicked on the record. Now it takes about 2-3 seconds to move between records via the same method.

I've opened my FM11 file in FM12 and am noticing odd or different behavior between the two versions that I don't understand. In a portal, I have a value list that is based on a field. This values are the children of the parent item in the particular record being shown on each portal line. In FM12, the values from the first line item is just repeated in every record below regardless of the parent, UNTIL I actually click on the field, and then the displayed values changes to the appropriate values for that particular record...as soon as I click out, the display reverts to showing the values from the first record. If I am not explaining this sufficiently, I can try to post an example later today. Thank you for any help.

I know that others have had this issue in the past, as I read on it a couple of years ago, but now I cannot find those forums. My question is does anybody know a work around or solutions for this issue. I know that I can simply move my graphics over a couple of pixels, but I dont like the cosmetics of it.

Excellent point! Based on the content of the text fields I'm using this for, a period followed by a space would be a safe alternative.

Yes, I would like to do this as a custom function. The text field will have numerous sentences, so I would like each parenthetical text moved to the end of it's respective sentence (i.e., the position just before the period where the phrase was found).

I need help from those of you more creative than myself. Is there a way that a calculation can find every parenthetical phrase in a text field and move each one to the end of that sentence. Example Input: "The patient's score was average (i.e. Full Scale IQ = 50th percentile) on the Wechsler Scales of Adult Intelligence." Desired Output: "The patient's score was average on the Wechsler Scales of Adult Intelligence (i.e. Full Scale IQ = 50th percentile)." Thanks for your help!

I've found a custom function that meets my need: http://www.briandunning.com/cf/1114

Hello, I'm trying to create a custom function that will search a text field for all duplicate phrases that start with a particular character (i.e., "{") and ends with a particular character (i.e., ":") and output a list of those. For example, if my text is: "{Memory: The patient's memory was measured in the above average range for visual stimuli. {Memory: On memory tests involving auditory stimuli, the patient's performance was impaired. " Then I would like the custom function to output: "{Memory" My reasoning for wanting to do this is difficult to explain, but basically it is part of a larger custom function that reorganizes reports based on headers that are already consistently marked with the a "{" at the beginning and a ":" at the end. Thanks for the help!

I'm having the same problem.

I don't know the answer to this problem, but just wanted to say that I am having the same issue in printing, in which the lines break as expected in FMP10 Advanced, but do not in FMP11.

I would like to do this on a mac. Is this possible? I'm not familiar with applescript, but I'd try learning if it can be done.

I've also had this problem and found that I had a electrical short in my router (I could wiggle the wire and shut down everybody). I replaced the router. Coincidentally, 1 week later, I increased our internet speed due to a special with AT&T and the problem returned for offsite clients. A visit by a local technician revealed that our DSL was turned up too high for the capacity of the phone lines. The problem was solved by turning down the speed from 3 mbps to 1.5 mbps.

Thanks. I do have a lot of scripts, including a couple that navigate to different windows based on window titles. I'll go through the possible culprits.

I had 3 windows open looking at different tables from the same solution. One of the windows sort of froze...that is to say I could not close that window and I could not quit filemaker (had to eventually Force Quit). Within the frozen window, I could switch layouts, go to different records, run scripts, and enter data. I could not switch to the other 2 windows, which remained in the background regardless of where I clicked. Any ideas on what causes that behavior? Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I wasn't sure where to start.

Ok...to answer my own question, it seems that my problem was solved via sorting the records.

Hi, I'm still learning sub-summaries and just created one. It seems that sometimes, when I navigate to the layout with the subsummary, it will show the sub-summary in browse mode and other times it won't...can somebody explain to me how I get it to show the sub-summaries in browse mode. Of course, it always shows up in layout mode. thanks.

I follow your logic, but the only analyses that I'll ever need to do are already being done with my current structure.

Please tell me more about my issues. Should I be using a different structure? I don't add tests often (about 2 a year), and I use the same tests over and over. I put each test in a different table because each is so incredibly diverse and within each tests, I use very different formulas for calculating standard scores and interpretations of those tests. I don't see it practical to have a single table with each record representing a different test because there are so many different things I would do with each test.

I found a custom function called GetIndex, and this ended up meeting my needs: MiddleValues ( LayoutNames(Get(FileName)) ; GetIndex(LayoutNames(Get(FileName));"TestListStart")+1; GetIndex(LayoutNames(Get(FileName));"TestListEnd")-GetIndex(LayoutNames(Get(FileName));"TestListStart")-1)

I have over 100 layouts in my solution. Among those layouts is a list of about 20 different clinical tests, each with its own layout for data entry. I group those layouts together. Every time I add a new test to my research, I wanted my field that lists the available tests to automatically update based on the name of the layout.

oh! I just realized what the computer is doing, though I still don't know how to fix it. It is giving me the layouts that are in between the 2 alphabetically. I don't organize my layouts alphabetically. I apparently chose a poor example and miscommunicated my intent. Here is another example. If I have the following layouts: Splash Screen Background Insurance Accounts Clinical Findings Recommendations Settings How do I get the computer to give me this list by telling it my list starts after "Splash Screen" and Ends before "Settings": Insurance Accounts Clinical Findings Recommendations

I'm attaching another example file that uses some of the same naming conventions of my actual file. Please note there are items in the list that should not be in the list. LayoutList.fp7.zip

Thanks again! Ok, so it works in my example solution, but when I go to implement in my actual solution, I run into problems. It may be related to my naming convention as I uses spaces, [ ], and - in my actual solution because I am getting incomplete results.

Here is an example file of what I'm trying to accomplish and I've included the above custom function. Thanks for all help! LayoutList.fp7.zip

So, I've implemented the above custom function and the list it is returning includes all of my layouts except the one that is used for the parameter "startChar".
