Billing: partial deliveries
by Spice Boy- 7 replies
- 2.6k views
I'm again out of my depth. I have a fairly good system for time-billing of consultancy services - but now a friend has asked if I could help him to set up a system for her firm that sells actual, physical goods. Sometimes she does not have the required quantities, but sends (& bills for) what she has. So, someone orders ten gadgets, but can get now only six; four are shipped later. I can have a "shipped qty" field in the order line items table, but can't think of a mainly non-scripted (ie data driven as much as possible) mechanism for creating the invoice lines for the second lot. I'd also need to update the "shipped" quantity in "Orders" when the delivery d…

changing printer and trays in FMP8
by dr magic fingers- 0 replies
- 1.3k views
Hi, I am in the process of upgrading to FMP8-- new computers, completely new install. Previously, I had used ProPrint (plugin) to facilitate printing to different printers, and different trays (ie letter vs envelope). Of course, as I try to reinstall my plugins it doesn't even look like ProPrint (afeina.com) is still out there or supported. Question 1: do I still need a plugin for this? I have tried some prelim scripts and it seems to work intermittantly-- printing alot of letters on envelopes. Thanks for any advice Matt

I have just upgraded from a G4 Mac to a dual core intel IMac.

What can I do to overcome this?

Hello Everyone, I am getting close to finishing a FM solution and I was wondering what is the best way to secure your application from piracy. I know that it isn't 1 solid way, but I would like a way to somewhat control the distribution of my solution. Plugins, 3rd party software, or even some script examples would be helpful! Thanks a lot.

Tab Control

Hello Everyone. I know something dont happen natively in FM , so im wondering what workarounds, CF's , Plugins etc can be used to accomplish this task I have a tab panel with 3 tabs, Details , Table View, New / Edit The "Table View" tab I need a portal to records in the same table of only the found set. I have tried various CF's to get the calculated MultiKey but its just way to slow concidering the number of records that may be in the found set. The best way i have found is to use the Copy and Paste method to make the key, its fast even on 15000 recordsets But since FM doesnt allow scipts to be attached to tabs, and even a invisable box over a non…

Importing Word to Filemaker Pro8.5 database
by jmille44@mac.com- 9 replies
- 3.9k views
I have about 2000 invoices created in word, that I need to import into filemaker pro 8.5 database. After looking here for a solution, I could not find one that works so far. The word files are saved as document templates so when I go to save them as text files, it tells me I can't save document templates as anything other than document templates. Is there anything new in 8.5 that would allow importing the word file info I need? All the invoices are the same format. Are there any plugins that would make this possible or any other solution to get the word doc info imported? Thanks

Plugin... How do I use it!
by Therese- 3 replies
- 2.5k views
I know this probably sounds really basic, and I have searched all the documentation that came with the plugin, SMTPit Pro, but for the life of me cannot find any way to get my email happening. Can anyone provide a link that really explains how to use these plugins, eg: do I create a new table with global fields and use the SET Field function via a relationship, or create one field (Container or otherwise) in the current table using all the external SMTPit functions. Just cant get my head around how it works. Thanks in advance

This solution requires a dedicated PC to run, but has been working for me for several years. I'm running on the Windows platform. I created a script which runs continuously via a loop. It checks the current time and, if that time matches a predetermined time, it performs other scripts. To avoid re-running the same called script multiple times the script Sets a specific field noting that the called script was run, along with the date and time that script was run. I have several If/Endif loops in the primary loop, so there are multiple other scripts that are called throughout the day. I use these to export records/files at two different times during the day, i…

Plugins and IWP?
by beju0506- 0 replies
- 2.8k views
Hi! I'm trying to design a feature using a freely distributed plugin. My concern, however, is that if a user goes to the IWP interface, the function won't work properly, because the plugin is not installed in a local copy of FM... How does this work? Are plugins not available in IWP? Or is there some way to install them? Thanks! Justin

"History" functionality for DB, plugins?
by beju0506- 7 replies
- 1.8k views
Hello All, I spoke briefly with a few people on here before I believe about "history" type functionality for the DB (where once a record is deleted, it isn't really deleted but converted to inactive and "hidden" from normal view). Someone (I think it may have been Ender) suggested that we do it via filtering in the joins on a particular status field. This works really well, but as our database is quite large now, it could potentially take months to do this... another suggestion I heard was to have permissions set on accounts to filter out certain records. This works well too, except it says "no access" on records that are "inactive", and in order to view the "inactive…

Activate script on Return/Enter
by MacD- 7 replies
- 2k views
I'm developing a solution in FM8 and currently facing a problem of making it the easiest for user to search for data. What I would like to be able to do is to activate a script every time user hits Enter/Return in a field, or exists a field. I know I can implement such a feature using free EventScript plugin. But the problem is that I need the script to be activated even if a field user exiting was NOT changed, which is not achievable with EventScript's approach as there are no calculations in case field is not changed. I wonder if somebody can at least tell me if the feature I'm asking for exists/implementable using any plugin available for FM8? This is the …

The Field Factory - for 7
by LaRetta- 9 replies

Well, many of you frequent other forums as well but some don't. And I thought you might be interested in something I am really excited about. Picture this ... - Field labels changing simultaneously throughout a solution when Management decides they don't like a name (without having to rename your field in Definitions) and without having to change every label on every layout. - Placing the field label within the field to eliminate clutter. And those field names could dynamically switch to User-assistance comments based relationships or other data changes. - Each field's background changing independently, based upon conditions anywhere in your solution. No…

NEED PLUGIN PLEASE
by SurferNate- 0 replies
- 1.7k views
I've looked at all of the plugins available and I have determined that we need one important function developed. We need HOT KEYS. Logic: *For typeahead one could turn on the plugin through EventScript and Turn it off through EventScript ("on field entry" and "on field exit") *Key Trapping requires too much complexity. Example: Set Hot Keys (all of the letters and numbers) Turn On Hot Keys when field entered: Hot Keys continue to enter data into a field normally, but trigger a simple commit record script. This allows a very straightforward multi-key portal relationship setup. Relationship graph only requires two table occurrences with one list and one global…

Exciting Free Plug-In!!
by frigante- 12 replies
- 2.9k views
I don't get excited about much when it comes to FMP, but when I started using this little plug-in, I could hardly contain myself! Filemaker Advisor magazine has compiled one of the example plug-ins from the Developer disc which allows you to trigger a script when a field is modified. For those of you who have looked for this in the past, you might be familliar with the Troi Activator plug-in which does this among other things. Well, this one's free and does the job perfectly! I've traditionally favoured db/interface programming with embPerl/Apache/MySQL over anything else but FM7 has been catching up in my books and though the relationship limitations bump…

Hi Cafe persons, Oh. I'm in trouble now. I've been telling my boss FM can do anything ... which is true, but that doesn't mean I can. Please give me some ideas on this one. He gave me text list of 300 customer names and their email addresses. And he wants me to send each one an individual email with text & merge fields in it AND a html thing in an email. Well, I've been trying to figure out how in blazes to do this!? I've attached links in emails just by typing them but I don't think this is the same thing!?! I know I can import fine and even write the looping script to Send A Message, right? But I know nothing about html. How do I insert somethi…
