Hi all,

I am a total newbie and I was wondering if this chart is going to help me understand better how to create scripts, etc. Please let me know!

[Ocean West]

Welcome to the forums,

This function chart, will look fabulous when adorned on your office wall. It will brighten any room and invite inspiration and ingenuity as you will be surrounded with 200+ functions, short definition, and one or two examples.

You will be able to retire the ol' saying "out of sight - out of mind" as the sheer proximity to such resource will invoke your inner developer and compel you to read or review it daily.

You will be the envy of others, as your skills and talents grow. The true value of owning the function chart, can be measured by wisdom which is achieved by our application of the accurate knowledge.

Now that you accurately know the benefits of owning this function reference chart, your first test is to apply that knowledge and place an order today, making you a wise person in my book!

It'll just stop me from having to refer to the manual all the time.

[Ocean West]

update... ALL orders have been processed labeled and packaged.

There was a slight delay in shipping as we were waiting delivery of packing materials.

All orders (including all international orders) will be shipped out by end of business on Monday.

This process takes a little time to package/label/and schedule time to pickup and or drop off at the local post. Orders will be processed daily and shipping is at least ONCE a week.

We would like to thank you, for your order and understanding and patience as we ramp up our distribution efforts.

[Fei]

This is just a quick reference chart for shorten the time you need to flip thru the book.

Newbie should go with books before come to this. I suggest you grab one due to this is pretty limited in qty.

I am pleased to announce that FMPug members can now save $10 on the cost of the posters.

Just log into your personal homepage for the link.

And don't worry if you are not an FMPug member. You can join FMPug for $10 less once your poster arrives (thus saving you the cost of shipping) -- just look for the special coupon inside your poster. Membership available from $40 with coupon.

Group orders

Do you know other people in your area that would love to get their hands on one of these posters?

There truly is power in numbers -- the power to save on the shipping cost for one!

If you can get 3,6 or 10 or more of your closest FileMaker buddies together we can do a group delivery and save you all a little green.

This is great for user groups who would like to get these in front of their members. Let the group know about it at your next meeting...heck, send an email out right away asking for sign-ups.

Once you know the quantity get in touch with us either here at FMForums or at FMPug and we will let you know the cost for shipping in quantity.

p.s. - All new orders have been processed and orders received today ship tomorrow (international take 2 extra days).

[Genx]

I got mine Actually i got it last week, but they're so much bigger than i thought they'd be. You guys rock!

[Fei]

I still haven't receive my copy yet.

[DukeS]

I haven't received my copy in five weeks.

I wrote few private topics to mr. Dolenski but he didn't answered.

I also haven't received no money back. So thanks for nothing...

[andygaunt]

Due to problems with the international orders (the USPS gave us boxes they said would be ok only to find out they were not!) we have just re-issued a lot of the international orders.

Sorry for any confusion and/or delay in receiving your posters.

They are definitely worth the wait so please bear with us.

If there are any other problems please contact me directly.

[Fei]

Finally received mine. Fantastic posters.

[melmitts707]

I ordered the Reference Chart and today I received garbage. Can anyone tell me where is the best place to leave a message about this problem? Does the seller have his own web site?

Thanks

[melmitts707]

Let me clearify my previous post. I have been in contact with Andy Gaunt about the problem. The Reference Chart is NOT garbage, the service provided by Mr. Gaunt is NOT garbage, however, the Post Office converted it into garbage...

[andygaunt]

Hi,

After emails with Mel we have added extra "security" on the packages to try and avoid any need for the USP to get "creative".

OK, we added some more tape around the boxes to prevent the glue from releasing but hey, you have to give us some points for "creativity"!

Mel was issued a new set of posters F.O.C. and all other posters now ship with the improved "security" protection!

[melmitts707]

As a follow-up to the Post Office saga. Today I received the replacement reference charts in pristine condition. Excellent reference charts and excellent service... From Andy, not the Post Office...

[djc728]

I just have to say that the function reference chart posters are fantastic and I refer to them all the time. . .although I did have to take down my Farrah Fawcett poster but I guess all good things must come to and end.

Dom

[andygaunt]

Dom,

Very glad to hear that (although very sad to here about the retirement of Farrah.

If you thought the posters are great...wait till you see what we have up our sleeves next!

[FruitFul]

Any word to come soon on this 'next' project? : Also, any word on a poster update for FMP 9?

[Ocean West]

Soon

[andygaunt]

Your patience is almost paid off.

This book was created following the enormous success of the FileMaker Functions & Reference Chart debuted at the 2006 FileMaker Developer’s Conference (DevCon). DevCon provided a spring board for the chart’s burgeoning success, quickly making it a sought after resource for FileMaker developers worldwide. While well-regarded for its content, the size of the chart was reported as rather cumbersome and lacked portability. It was true – the chart being poster size lent itself more to wallpaper than a desk reference. Rather than reproducing something that people could use to decorate their room, we decided instead to create a product that best met the needs of the community. The feedback proved invaluable, and ultimately lead us down the path of (vast) improvement.

“Lays flat on your desk so you don’t have to”

The format of this book was deliberated over almost as much as the content. Let’s face it, most “perfect bound” desk references aren’t very cooperative when it comes to staying put, some might say they have a mind of their own. One minute you’re reading page 233 and in a flash, the book has reverted to page 145, or has closed all together! It became imperative we create a very cooperative desk reference that promised to lay flat without a fight. Thus, the spiral format was voted-in and marked the end to the deliberation.

Though the new choice of formatting offered us the opportunity to expand on the content covered, but choosing the “right” content became paramount. The goal quickly became to create a readily accessible, indispensable little gem for FileMaker developers -- no matter their level of expertise. As a result, all the information was hand-picked, covering key topics that we as developers rely on each and everyday. It’s a concoction of books, reference manuals, guides, application help files and original work, distilled into a single convenient source. Staying true to its name, we believe this book will prove to be an “everything reference” and a useful addyour information arsenal.
