FM 7 does not lookup fields using iwp

Featured Replies

  • Newbies

I am using FM 7 and iwp.

The problem I am having is that lookup fields are not populated as they normally do within Filemaker itself. The many fields (ie names and addresses) remain blank even after the submit button is used.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hmmm, that's interesting. Do you know if lookups worked in FMP 6 IWP?

(Sorry I don't have an answer.)

IWP has several limitations which arise from the fact that there is no direct connection between the browser and the database, and one of these is the behavior of lookups. This is the case in both the current and previous versions of FileMaker.

However in FileMaker 7, there are some other options (such as an auto enter calculation) which may be worth considering and may provide a more satisfactory result, depending on what it is you are hoping to achieve.
