April 1, 200421 yr Can anyone direct me to a good resource for learning how to write Scripts and Calculations in FM (class/book/website,etc.)? I understand the basics and can write simple scripts and some calculations, but I want to expand my skills to something more advanced. My problem is that I don't know command words/phrases that FM is expecting. I can figure out the structure of a script/calculation just fine, I just don't know the terminology enough to translate what I'm thinking into what FM understands. Please help! Thanks, -Johnson FileMaker Version: 7 Platform: Windows XP
April 1, 200421 yr Johnson: There's nothing out for FM 7 yet, so you may want to wait. Two books are highly recommended: Rich Coloumbre's "Special Edition: Using FileMaker Pro" (which is in print) and "Scriptology" (which is out of print, and I can't remember the author.) Having said that, even the FileMaker Pro Bible would probably be helpful to you. Hit a big bookstore and browse... -Stanley
