For my small legal practice, I'm running Troi's Activator, Dialog, and File plugins, plus 360works' Scribe plugin. Is this considered a lot? Activator I use to schedule scripts by time. Dialog so that I can have dialog boxes populate variables as opposed to fields. File to do text processing. Scribe to do Word and PDF processing.

ScriptMaster and SuperContainer. I don't do a much word processing.

24U Simple Dialog -> in all my solutions because 'Show Custom Dialog' really sucks.

Troi File plug-in -> in most of my solutions to do file management.

MyFMbutler PrinterSwitch -> to create pdf's in runtimes.

CNS menu -> in all my solutions to make better dropdowns, because 'Calculated Value List' does not exist.

FTPit Pro -> when a solution needs ftp-management

SMTPit Pro -> when a client wants reliable e-mail sending

Question re SMTPit Pro -- how is this more reliable than sending it through FileMaker directly (and specifying an SMTP server)?

Most common reason to use an SMTP plugin is the need to send more than 1 attachment.

Question re SMTPit Pro -- how is this more reliable than sending it through FileMaker directly (and specifying an SMTP server)?

A couple of years ago bulk-mailing with FMPro did not send a mail to every user in the list, I could not find a cause at the time and this plug-in (for which I already had a Dev License) solved the problem. Maybe this problem doesn't exist any more.

Other advantages: html format / inline images / multiple attachments / not dependant on a found set / differentiate between to-, cc- and bcc fields

Ah, got it!  I just added another plug-in, the MonkeyBread software (love that name) plugin.  There's a veritable potpourri of stuff, but I like the script coloring the best . . . .

Bought another Troi plugin -- Text -- today.
