Hello Filemaker Community, I have FM13 and I am trying to used calendar pickers to create records in a related table. The user should be able to click on one of the calendar dates (generated by repeating fields), this should then copy to pieces of data from the calendar and use these to create a new record. Then the user clicks on the date in the calendar a second time, the script should delete the record that was created in the related table. Would anyone be able to assist with helping me to set up the scripting as I am new to FM? I look forward to hearing from you soon. Best Regards, MA Francima Driver Hire 1.fmp12

Hi All, Just had a look at the new Add-ons in Fm19. Is there a way to make the timer work in reverse. i.e. Start from a field (Timer::TimeLength) that a user can input, so that the specified time of say 30:00 will run down to 0:00 Any help would be appreciated. Regards Milton.

Jump to a record

Hi All, First time posting here. I have a couple of reports (List layouts) that have around 1500 records and I have 5 or 6 sort criteria's that I obtain by clicking buttons with scripts. All of this works fine but what I would like to accomplish is having a field at the top of the page and when I type a person's name the system would jump to that record line so that I can obtain the record number row. I don't want to narrow the list down with a Find, because the row number changes according to how many records are showing. Then I can resort the list by clicking the next button and then typing the person's name again and this would show what row n…

Hi I have two tables, users and orders, connected to each other with the Users PK and the relative FK of Order. In the format that is based on Order I wish I could enter a user element in the FK field so you don't have to type it. I remember that in Access you could choose to take the data from a table different from the one on which the form is based and its fields but storing it in the correct field. In FileMaker I couldn't understand how to do it, if you can obviously. Thank you

Expand Field to show all text
by St3v1e- 8 replies

Hi, I have a tab which I'm using to add a new comment for client communications. My problem is that when the amount of text entered in the comment field exceeds the size of the window, it's hidden from view until I click inside the "Comment" field. At this point it expands so I can read everything. Is there a way to automatically expand these fields to show all text contained inside them without having to click inside the field?

Company Relationship - need to understand the logic of this Contact/Company relationship please !

Hi all, I'm trying to figure out how to create a one-to-many relationship for my Contacts' employers (many employee's / 1 company)? I'm assuming that I need to have a separate table for my Contacts, & another for "Companies"? And by entering the name of the Company in my contacts layout, a record would be created in my "Companies" table. I'm confused by how to set up the relationships, so that only One Company is created, but shows [via a portal in my Companies layout], all employees. Currently, each time I enter the [same] company name, a new record is being created - leading to multiple records for the same company. So if John's employer is XYZ L…
