Navigational Progress Display

It seems that over time, you can always make a nice technique even better. As you code more and more in FileMaker, you start to make your code more modular.

That's what this video is about - along with a nice enhancement to your standard web viewer being used to show navigational progress.

Included in the file, and the video, is information which will help you break your scripts and calculation code into smaller bits of reusable code. You'll also end up with a very functional progress indicator for use with record navigation.

The big lesson here is there's a multitude of ways to break down a solution to a problem. Personally, I like using custom functions for the primary reason of being able to code something once and be able to affect global changes - however, some times you don't need this, and keeping things localized to a small scope is a great way to go too.

Either way, if you're looking for a method to use for displaying navigational status and you find that web viewers are great for this task, then this video has what you need!
