Runtime Auto-Complete?

[MarkWilson]

Does a runtime database created with FileMaker 8 Advanced have the auto-complete and fast matching options available to users?

... filemaker are cheap ... but i doubt they'd get rid of a fairly standard filemaker 8 feature like that... they seem to just get rid of the better features like pdf export or excel export etc.

genx, Mark's is asking if a feature of v8 is available in a Runtime. I'm not quite sure what you are saying, except you need to watch your language.

Mark, I have not bound a runtime yet, so I can't answer with 100% accuracy, however, it would seem logical that it would be available.

However, if you don't get a solid yes, or no by tomorrow, I'll do a test for you and see.

genx, are you sure about Excel? I found out about the PDF problem only after many hours of frustration on my, and my (now ex-) customer's, part. The really frustrating thing is that it is not mentioned in the Help. There are two articles on the FMP Knowledge Base - one on PDF and one of Excel. The PDF article specifically says it doesn't work on runtimes but the Excel one doesn't.

Don't have time to check it just now.

Lee, I think genx is beng unbelievably polite about FMI on this issue.

[Genx]

oh right lee, yes i appologize, i shouldnt have used that term...it is a public forum

sorry, wont happen again... genx

Lee. Can I take you up on your offer of a test? The run-time application will run a PC. Thank you.

[Lee Smith]

Done. The feature carries over to the Runtime.
