One of the improvements that came with the release of FileMaker 18 was additional supported cURL options. Among these are the SMB protocol and the ability to send email with SMTP and SMTPS. These allow you to access a mapped drive and send out HTML emails, respectively.
SMB
Using this method can allow access to mapped network drives. The Server Message Block Protocol (SMB protocol) is a client-server communication protocol used for sharing access to files, printers, serial ports
As the number of web sites hosting icon collections has grown over the years, it makes little sense to have your own collection of icons custom created at a costly premium. Typically, you can find pretty much any icon you could ever want to use and in many cases, you can even modify the icon to fit your specific needs if you need a slight variation.
With the release of Creative Commons licensing, a wide array of freely available collections and the easy ability to modify icons, you can quickly

Functional programming is all about passing functions around. Let’s try a practical example in JavaScript, using high order functions, filters, “currying” and more. But first, perhaps a brief historical review is worth a moment of our time… JavaScript, then and now Before JavaScript had the class keyword, there were many ways to write JavaScript code. […]

The annual FileMaker Developer’s Conference (DevCon) will take place on August 5th – 8th, 2019 in Orlando, Florida. I’m honored to be speaking for the fifth year in a row at the conference, and I’m looking forward to sharing the experience with over a thousand other members in the FileMaker community!
Here’s five quick things you need to know about DevCon this year
The four-day schedule is a little different this year

Trier les valeurs d’une liste Nous avons vu dans les deux précédents articles que FileMaker sait facilement récupérer les données d’une rubrique sur de multiples enregistrements et nous les transmettre sous forme de liste de valeurs séparées par un pied de mouche (retour chariot). En revanche, par défaut, ces données ne sont pas dédoublonnées : […]

You may be familiar with the routine when you have multiple duplicate records in your database. You end up having to reference multiple sources. Which can be a real pain. Ultimately, you end up needing to decide which record is the master and then merging as much of the data as possible from any of the duplicates.
This is a common scenario with any multi-user database system. Where, anytime you have more than one person working on the same data, you can inevitably end up with duplicates.

In FileMaker 18, we received a new script step called Error Logging. When this script step is used, any errors that are generated from the running script are pulled into a log for review.
Parameters for the error logging script in FileMaker 18
The step allows for two
parameters. The first is whether to turn the logging on or off. Once error
logging is turned on, any time a script in the current file generates an error,
a file called ScriptsError.log will be created or appended to for
FileMaker SurveyMonkey Integration
SurveyMonkey is a popular cloud-based survey platform boasting over 20 million questions answered per day. Flexible and user friendly, surveys generated by SurveyMonkey can be used for a variety of purposes, from large company wide reviews to customer satisfaction surveys. Using SurveyMonkey’s API you can automatically collect survey responses and data directly into your FileMaker application, allowing you to link your surveys to your FileMaker data.
With the development of the data file script steps in FileMaker 18, FileMaker has made it easier remove inefficiencies from your database. The script steps also help streamline workflows and enhance processes. For instance, script steps can allow users to create a change log, simply log other data and hold them outside of a FileMaker environment. Let’s dive into some of the new script steps…

FileMaker Pro Advanced a été mis à jour en avril pour prendre en compte le calendrier japonais avec la version 17.0.5. Les mises à jour 17.06 et 17.0.7 annoncent exactement les mêmes raisons pour ces mises à jour. https://support.filemaker.com/s/answerview?language=fr&anum=000032945 On pourrait du coup se demander s’il s’agit d’un copier-coller malheureux de notice de mise à […]

It's just like when you see someone who is well-dressed, clean and sharp looking, your FileMaker user interface is no different. You're more impressed by that sharp, clean look. In this regard, not having something on your user interface is quite possibly one of the very things which makes your user interface look that much cleaner.
Portals and list views, pretty much anything which repeats itself many times, can be very overwhelming when there are a lot of options. Quite simply, if there are t

We’ll examine some new examples ranging from basic to advanced, talk about the circumstances under which While can use variables previously declared via Let, and […]

FileMaker has been missing a looping control structure in its function set for…well…a while. So, the introduction of FileMaker 18’s While() function is less a fancy new feature than it is a fix for a long standing limitation in FileMaker’s function set. But even if it’s long overdue, its introduction profoundly changes what it is […]
