May 3, 200520 yr Is anyone else disappointed with the "enhancements" to the Database Design Report functionality? FMP6 could output the report to a database file; which we could then easily modify. This was great for developer notes. Does anyone know of a fairly simple way to get the data into a FileMaker file? I realize I need to start getting my hands dirty with XML/XLST, but I have a critical need to document a couple of projects now. I'd rather not have to buy something like Analyzer.
May 4, 200520 yr At this point I think you either make something yourself or by something. Make sure to log your request for the old DDR in a FM file (on the FMI website). That's your best chance of getting it back. As to doing this yourself: you can do it with any programming language that can parse XML if you'd rather do this without having to learn XSLT. I've written a little tool myself that parses the DDR of a whole solution and imports it in a FM database. Takes about 2 minutes to finish on a 30 file solution. I might make it available at low cost in the near future.
