Using Filemaker in a extended display (two monitors) ISSUES

[star1]

Hello all,

I have a person who is using there laptop as well as a 15 inch dell monitor in extended display mode. There is a bit of an issue with it though. When the computer is in extended display mode filemaker pro looks different. When not using extended display mode when working on a expense report or a time card. If I move my mouse over a column and click on that column a black outline of that same column shows and it then shows a vertical line blinking indicating that I can start typing in that column. Once I start typing I am able to see the entries as they are typed. But for some reason when extended display is enabled it is different. There is no more black outline, nor vertical line blinking when I go over it. Also when one types into the column, the input is not visible. But the strange part is that it shows once, the person clicks on a different column. It works normally when using the laptop itself or in dual display mode, but not extended display mode.

Anyone knows what would cause this?? Any suggestions?

Thanks!

hi

I had the same problem with a desktop computer with dual screen. I solved it by updating the video driver. Hope this works for you too
