Hello, I have a layout that displays a homeowner inspection report. The first page should show a header (name, address, comments, etc. and two of a possible 8 photos of the home. The second page should show the subsequent 6 of a possible 8. I set the layout up with a Sub-summary by Lot at th...

Our database has a container field that we mostly have PDF's inside of, with the occasional PNG. Currently we have this container in three different layouts. On all layouts the scrollbar is visible when applicable. However, only one layout allows the users to interact with this scrollbar. This inclu... -
Hi all - In our Filemaker database, we have an "Appointments" table and an "Appointment Services" table (being one or more services linked to an Appointment). I am working on a print layout to list all the Appointments on a given date, with a sublist of the Appointment Services for each appoint...

I'm working on a database right now that handles general accounting information for a department of a university. My current layout looks like this: Where the left section has buttons to take you to the different layouts and look at various different tables, and the middle column is a sc...

Am a bit lost on what (I think) should be a quite simple script: Field 1 has a value list on layout. Field 2 is a general text field for typed data entry.. My goal is to use Field 1 to trigger/manage a script which does severla things, but then leaves the mouse/selector inserted into...

I just upgraded our FM Server and four workstations to FM 16 Server and FileMaker 16 User. I have been using FM15 User to update a solution in every way, including layout design since June 2016. The only function I could have used from Advanced was commenting out script lines, but I lived with...

Hey, I want to use the same header on all my layouts in FileMaker Pro 15 Advanced but I can't seem to find a way to accomplish it. I read on Google and other forums that there is no way to do it, however the posts I found are all at least a year or two old. Did they add a way to do it in FileMa...

I'm brand new to Filemaker. I'm trying to figure out how to make a left menu area that will appear in all of my layouts for navigation purposes. To switch from layout to layout easily for the user when my application goes live. I'm not even sure if this is possible, but from what I'm reading,...

I need a layout with larger number of text fields which may have long words .. currently words are being split randomly and overflowing into new lines .. eg .. for the word 'accordingly'; 'accordingl' comes on the first line and 'ly' comes on the second line. Is there a way that filemaker can h...

This is getting frustrating: About ten percent of the time I open a file, all of the layouts are displaying in a font named Z@R701E.tmp or, less commonly, Z@R6FAB.tmp. If I close and reopen the file a number of times, the problem will sometimes self-correct and show the normal fonts (I only use Ar...

I am beside myself. I got FMPro Advanced 14 and used it to redo a database. I worked extensively on the database fields, the value lists, and created lots and lots of calculations to create merged dialogues on the pages. After I did all of that, all by editing the pages that already existe...

I've got multiple Filemake databases with 4m+ records each. I've created a layout which calculates a summary using a sort, Groups and Counts. This takes 10-15 seconds, which is OK. However, when I try to export this summary report to Excel it appears that Filemaker has to recalculate all the Gr... -
I have been working with FM 13 and it has been a thorn in my side now for sometime that the old layout creation ability to have all fields added to a layout upon creation is gone now, or so at least I have discerned. My question is there a way to add all fields for a table in one action now to a la...

I have 24 layouts that are populated with fields from multiple tables present in the relationship graph shown in the image below. (I realize this is not uncommon.) Is it possible to determine which layouts use each table? In other words, is it possible to identify which of the 24 layouts have fields...

Placeholder text is a great new feature in FileMaker 14. With it you can specify by calculation what label text is to appear in a field that is empty. You can also have complete control over the styling of that text. In this article we demonstrate how to setup a placeholder and some of its benefits...

When opening it in a windows enviroment the buttons/fonts look differently and aren't lined up correctly. I...

Hello, I hope this is the best place to post this. I'm new to the forums, but have plenty of experience with older versions of FileMaker. I'm currently supporting a database based on FileMaker 6 / Server 5.5... You heard me. It's a rather long story, but the short version is that we will likely...

I have a database with a number of layouts. Each has the same logo at top left, a title in caps, and then a 1-pt line box surrounding the fields. For consistency's sake I want all these things in the exact same location on each page. In Layout Mode I have used the Inspector to check the locati...

We would like to display data from multiple tables in the form of charts on a single layout. Filemaker does not allow this, so I am seeking a work-a-round that is not going to significantly add to the overhead. I have a solution that works. It involves container fields and a script that runs at...

The animations introduced in FM13 are great, but they still don’t let us animate the transition from one layout to another. This is something we’re looking for as it’s often used in iOS apps to move from list to detail and back again. However, using full-layout slide panels, we can animate layo...Free
