Hi all,

Is there any way I can create my own function in FM. I have a very long calculation and I repeat that calculation in many files and many fields, although I am writing same code each time whenever I need that calculation.

I tried but could not make out how can I create my own function.

Any help in this direction will help me a lot.

Thanks in advance.

The only method I know of is to create a FM plug-in.

Hi,

Thanks for the response. How simple (or difficult ) it is to create a plug-in ? can you please advice me some help or link on this.

Thanks

Aditya

I've never written one, but it probably depends upon the function you are trying to perform and the number of interfaces, user interface, etc. it involves. There is information on plug-in creation in the FM Developers Edition, take a look at http://www.filemaker.com/products/plugin_developer_faq.html

To write a plug-in, take a look at

section Learning - Writing Filemaker Plug-ins.

Works for me, hope it helps you.
