get() function to determine it's a web user?

Featured Replies

I'm tinkering with the idea of doing a very scaled-down version of my database for mobile devices. I'm curious if there's a function that will allow me to know whether the computer that is accessing the database is a web-client. If it is, then it will have a seperate layout, etc. I tried get(application version), but it seems to return the result of my client software (ProAdvanced 8.5v2) even when I view it on the web (it's a calc field).

I was thinking using the screen size get() functions, but I thought there was something that might make more sense.

Get(ApplicationVersion) should return a string that depicts it as web. Try storing the result into a global field as part of the startup script.

Thank you, I just read that in the filemaker documentation. I guess it doesn't work in a CALC field (what I originally set up just to see what it returned). That should do. Thanks :

It should work in your calc field, but the field must be set to "Do not store..."
