Not seeing data in fields until I click into that field

Hi there,

I am very new to FileMaker, but I am quite adept at other databases (Access and a variety of legal dbs).

We are using FileMaker cross-platform - XP and Mac.

When I view the Mac terminal I cannot see the contents of any field until I click into that field. I don't know if this is a setting on the users part or a Mac issue (I am a PC user myself.).

Any advice would be great!

Much thanks,

Ky

This is definitely a very strange problem you are having. When you say mac terminal I am assuming you mean the FileMaker Application window correct? If that is the case there is no reason why you shouldn't be able to see the text of a field without clicking in it unless it was specifically designed to do that. Could you take a screen shot of what you are looking at. That might help.

Hopefully, I can give you some help after get more informations.
