Where is the help file located?

Control-click on the FileMaker application and select Show Package Contents.

From there the path is:

Contents/Resources/English.lproj/FileMaker Pro 8 Help/

This is very useful, as the files are standard HTML and can be opened in any browser, which is much faster than Apple Help. I have bookmarked:

file:///Applications/FileMaker%20Pro%208.5%20Advanced/FileMaker%20Pro%20Advanced.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/FileMaker%20Pro%208%20Help/functionsTOC.html

and

file:///Applications/FileMaker%20Pro%208.5%20Advanced/FileMaker%20Pro%20Advanced.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/FileMaker%20Pro%208%20Help/script-stepsTOC.html

Thanks so much for the info... I have not been around the forum for a bit so it was a nice suprise.

Best Regards,

Drew

.. Or just hit F1 when in FM

Genx,

Drew_S is using a Mac and the F1 key does not pull up the help file. There is a "Help" key on the Mac keyboard, usually above the delete key. Just one of the few differences between the mac and pc keyboards...
