fileMaker pro 7.03 arrived

[Brewser]

I am downloading it now. Does anyone know what has changed? I can't find anything on their web sit.

The download is REALLY SLOW. You may want to wait until the wee hours to give traffic some time to slow down. It took me over an hour to download 108 MB on a T1.

1. New in FileMaker Pro 7.0v3

1.1. Text editing

1.1.1. In Mac OS X, styled text copied from another application now retains

its styles when pasted into a field in FileMaker Pro. Styled text copied

from FileMaker Pro also maintains its styles when pasted into an application

that supports the RTF format.

1.1.2. Corrected line-breaking issues with specific characters, including

parenthesis, bracket, forward slash, backslash, and some Japanese katakana

characters.

1.1.3. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP at the 100% scale, font smoothing is

no longer applied to onscreen text with

[-Queue-]

"1.7.4. All values in a repeating field can now be displayed using a value

list based on related field values."

Woohoo! I'm back in business!

Now, if I could only get the download to stop stalling at 99%.

Stephen, Thanks for the bug fix list (I swear I looked everywhere for that!)

It looks like this should cover a lot of the problems we've been seeing. Good news!

[Ugo DI LUCA]

Wow, buttons shaded and transparent fill accepted !

Back to the design now

1.7.1. Type-ahead now works correctly in a value list that uses related

field values and that is sorted by the second field.

Just tested this, seems to work much better.

"1.4.1. In order to be consistent with other script steps and with previous

versions of FileMaker Pro, the Go to Related Record script step no longer

brings the related window to the front automatically, except when used from

a button. In order to bring the related window to the front, you must add a

Select Window step to the script."

This is really wierd and dispite you saying so isn't the way it works in FM6. Why would you have a script that says "Go to Related Record" and "Display using layout" and not have it actually display that record??? If you didn't want this behavior you should have an option of not displaying the related records, but otherwise I think I have to put this change in the "Bonehead" change category!

just updated to v7.03 and did some tests...pop up lists in v7.03 are still slow!!!

Say it ain't so.
