I have a mac that has been upgraded to OSX 10.7.4 and FileMaker Pro 11.0v4 and can no longer open FP7 files directly from a shared network drive. (the database is not a networked database, just a file on a shared drive. If I try, I get the following message: example.FP7" is currently in use and could not be opened. If the file is shared you can use the Open Remote command to open the file on the network.... The file is not open anywhere else and opens fine on another machine with an older version of OSX and FM. It also opens fine if I drag the file to the desktop and open it that way. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance

I still can't work it out : Are there any examples of how to achieve this...or have I stumped you guys with this one?

Excellent - any idea how to do it?

Is it possible to make a date field (maintenance renewal date) automatically email recipients when the month of renewal is reached? If so can anyone tell me how? Hope this makes sense : Thanks

Thats just what I needed - I've spent 2 days fretting over this. I was given this as a task in my new job (not as a database person (don't worry ). Thank you so much!

Thanks Shawn - I'll give it a go :thumbup:

Hi all, I am a complete novice when it comes to databases, however I was able to create a form and wanted to add fields such as supplier name, address, tel etc. from another table within the same database. I set the supplier name field that uses a drop down list to pick a supplier (successfully) and then wanted it to fill in the rest of the supplier details (address, telephone etc). I have created the main form and also created a secondary table/form with suppliers on. However I can't seem to get them to autofill (if that is the right terminology...any ideas? ....its really bugging me this issue - I can get it to look up a single field from another table, but can't then get it to autofill the related fields (address etc.) Help...please - is there an example file out there that basically has a dropdown list for the name (linked to another table) and once selected will then fill in an address field etc.? I am sure a simple example will get me back on track.
