Newbies file_maker_help Posted December 11, 2017 Newbies Share Posted December 11, 2017 I use specific color codes in Filemaker, but am forced to store the color codes separately (outside of filemaker). Is there anyway to have stored in filemaker and then maybe even "auto-populate" in a specific field type? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Murphy Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I think the quick answer is yes, but you need to give specifics to see which way is best for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 21 hours ago, file_maker_help said: specific color codes in Filemaker IIUC, this is the purpose of Themes. Just make a Theme using your colors and then you can import that theme into your new files and use it in whole or in parts. Matt Petrowsky at ISO Magazine has had several videos on this topic in the past that are available at his site, my favorite is called (Re)Theming Solutions. The Video is Free, but you have to be a subscriber to get the file. I was able to create my own file just following the video, and then when I compared it to his, I had nailed it. BTW, I've been a subscriber since April 2004 and have found it a great resource. I'm currently auditing the video sessions by Matt on how to do things in FileMaker. His Lessons started with the Basics things he calls the Environment, and progressed through Fields and Calculations, Data Structure & Schema and is presently is covering Layout Mode & Design, i.e. Theming. I hope this helps, Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitch Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I'm guessing this isn't about themes. And yes, file_maker_help (if that is your real name), as Stephen said the answer is probably yes and there are probably 10 different ways to do it, but we need more details about what you're trying to do.
