Macfreq Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I'm a novice filemaker developer and I'm creating my first database with the data and interface in separate files. I have all layouts, value lists, and scripts in one file and the tables defined in another file. Hopefully this will help make it easier to make changes to layouts and scripts away from my client. Now my question. Where should relationships be stored? In the interface file or the data file? Or do they have to be in both? Layouts depend on relationships as do tables with calc fields. Thanks for any tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 They have to be in both. In the back-end / data-side for the purpose of evaluating calculations and in the front-end for the purpose of scripts / actual data display relationships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macfreq Posted June 16, 2006 Author Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks for the confirmation Genx. I guess I just have to maintain them in each file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 No problem, but out of experience, the front end relationships are more important i.e. they get changed more often because once the data is set up, when implementing new features its mainly reliant on front-end relationships and scripts rather than the actual data it-self.
