May 14 2013 05:37 AM | Steven H. Blackwell in Site News

Here is a classic article from Forbes on why even small businesses--I would say especially why small businesses--should be concerned about security issues.

Hi All,

 

I'm new to FM Forums so I hope i'm following all the correct rules and procedures of the site.

 

My Question: -

I'm an experienced Microsoft Access User and on a form you can add a 'Combo Box' or 'List Box' that will list all the records for that single form and when one is selected will take you straight to that record. I suppose in a way it's acting like a filter without the need to scroll through all the records on the form individually.

 

I've recently just purchased Filemaker 12 as required to develop a database for web use and trying to do a similar thing with a 'drop down list' on a layout.  i.e My table is called 'Primary Schools Directory', a layout has been created for this table and i have placed a 'drop down list' on the layout that lists all the records in the table/layout. I just want now to be able to select one of those records and it takes me straight to the record on the layout.  I don't want to do it via a portal, I understand how these work.

 

I have purchased the books 'FileMaker 12 Developer Reference' & 'FileMaker Pro 12 The Missing Manual' and so whilst I have a feeling it has somethig to do with 'Script Triggers' and 'Goto Record', after lots of reading and trying various scripts I just can't figure it out.

 

Please can anybody help?

 

Kind Regards

Steve

I am trying to apply padding to a checkbox field so the slightly rounded border isn't touching the checkbox elements.

 

I used FMP 12 Format/Layout/Line Spacing and put in 10 points on the left, to see if I could notice some padding effect. No luck. Am I missing something obvious?

 

I have a screenshot of my checkbox with the 10 points left setting and showing the settings as well.

 

Thanks, David

right now we have a windows server machine running filemaker server for 15 users.  4 macs and 11 pcs.

the reason im looking for a different machine is because the server is in a small room and if we close the door it gets very hot in less than an hour and it starts to sounds very loud like a turbine, so we have to leave the door open all the time .  one solution is to add an air conditioner unit but here in my country energy is very expensive , and that units is not for 24 hours working. 

the other solution is to buy a mac mini server with solid state hard drive, and 8 gigas memory .  that mac mini doesnt get very hot and is very quiet and can be placed almost anywhere. 

what do you guys think about this solution? will the windows machines works fine with the mac server?  will be faster to access the database than the windows ? 

i really appreciate your comments, 

thank you 

Mauricio
