Article optionsSpend enough time within FileMaker, and you want to accomplish things as fast as possible. This even includes the trivial task of simply opening the files you're developing. Typically, a solution is delivered with some level of security on it. That is, using the Account and Privileges to lock down what people can and can't do. While using the Relogin script step is useful for testing out different accounts with different levels of access, it's always great to save even more time when you're developing the files. In this video, I take a walk through the process I use to open solutions within a state where they're ready for me to develop. This makes it easy to simply provide the file or host it within FileMaker Server without the worry, because I know I'm the only one with the keys for convenient master access.

FileMaker 10 News & InfoPosted by: Editor / Monday, January 5, 2009 – 1:41pm
You've heard the rumors and now it's news. It's all about FileMaker 10. Released Monday Jan 5th, it contains one feature in particular, which developers have been asking about for years (quite possibly almost a decade). Script Triggers! Can I hear a HOOORAY? It really is finally here, and the implementation is quite good (despite my feelings about functionality being buried down into dialog boxes - it's just the FileMaker way) When it comes down to a full write up about FileMaker 10, I often find myself taking a bunch of time to explore features and details which are often covered quite well by other sources. Personally, I tend to focus on implementations of unique and specific features - so I'll keep heading in that direction. Expect to see some great FileMaker 10 techniques over the coming year! If you want the quick list of FileMaker 10 new features, you'll find them on our editable faq. So, this article is a source you can re-check, which I will update as new information is released.

A FileMaker (Pre) Devcon PodcastPosted by: Editor / Friday, June 13, 2008 – 6:51pm

Article optionsWe were in my office messing around and I said "Hey, lets talk about the Devcon sessions". That's how it all started. We (Stephen Dolenski and myself -Matt Petrowsky) sat down and simply talked about the topics to be covered at the 2008 Devcon for FileMaker. Knowing nothing about their actual content (we're guessing on most), and more about who was offering it, we talk about pretty much every session. If you've got an hour and fifteen to kill, then pop your ear canals open for a bit and take a listen. It's an MP3, so you'll have to download (sorry no iTunes yet), but it may be worth it. You may even find a few FileMaker tips in there. This was just for fun and not really planned, but tell us if you like it - or hate it! Details: Released - 6/13/2008 / Size - / Length - 77 min

FileMaker 9 and Leopard like oil and waterPosted by: Editor / Friday, October 26, 2007 – 3:40pm
It looks like FileMaker 9 is not currently compatible with Mac OS X Leopard - to be released today. It turns out there are some issues with certain features that prevent it from working properly. Here is the message from FMI regarding the details (or lack thereof) regarding compatibility. When you read the message take note of the following.
Which doesn’t mean they won’t work. It just means they haven’t tested them. Nor have I. This is pretty bad news given that FileMaker, as more of a legacy type of application (meaning you find all kinds of companies sticking with older versions because of upgrading hassles, development issues or cost) could be stuck behind when it comes to the Mac OS. I understand the push to get companies and users to upgrade (I LOVE the new features in 8.5 and 9!) so you can move your market forward. But leaving this many people behind is going to be a big sting for a lot of companies. Fortunately, we still have time to find out how things really pan out. I guess for now, I’ll be waiting until November 19th (or possibly later) to see what happens. If you want a little more insight, and some unrelated ranting, then read my blog post.
