Newbies etolpygo Posted August 14, 2001 Newbies Share Posted August 14, 2001 We are using about 15 FileMaker 4.1 databases as a backend to a website. One of the databases includes the following fields: reviewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 "The problem is, when multiple documents are selected from the list, instead of creating a separate record for each document..." Hello. I have been confused. Is each document a separate record in a db file? Or does one record hold several documents? Is the list which is generated from the search a list of records or a list of documents within one record? You say that FileMaker creates a record which lists all the documents. How are you getting FileMaker to create this record? What command? A -new action tag or a -script action tag? I know you are not using InlineAction as you are using 4.0. Are you using portals?

Newbies etolpygo Posted August 15, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted August 15, 2001 yes, each document is a separate record, but in a different db file, the one that we are running the search from. to create a new record, we are using the -new action tag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 You could have some selections on your form be tokens not fields. Have a -format page that is a redirect. Swap over the tokens into field definitions and create the second record on the second page. I think Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Ok. So when you create the new record, it is a record of the found set of records. And that is what is being displayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbies etolpygo Posted August 16, 2001 Author Newbies Share Posted August 16, 2001 thanks to all who replied, but we have succeeded in writing a fm script that separates the new record with multiple entries in a single field into multiple records !

Keith M. Davie Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 FileMaker is single-threaded in its handling of ScriptMaker scripts. In spite of the claims by FileMaker concerning their cdml -script tag, you are advised to not run single-threaded handled scripts over the multi-user web unless you can come up with a workaround for the problem. This problem has been widely discussed on these forums, esp. the cdml forum. You would be well advised to do a little research on this before you proceed. You are asking for trouble, data loss and disappointed clients. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
