Get an overview of using PHP pages to connect PayPal to FileMaker… to allow for easy management and sales of products and services. This requires the use of FileMaker Server, and is a bit advanced, but the upside is a major labor saving in not double entering order data into your database.
Part 1 – Making a database that can work with 100 simultaneous users is not something that is easily done for a novice developer. We have given you a good start in the right direction with FM Starting Point 4. This video provides a bit more direction on the topic.

This is part 3 of a video series on FileMaker Transactions. It might be helpful to watch part 1 andpart 2 first. But it’s not required. In this video we took a look at why transactions are important to syncing FileMaker and FileMaker Go. We use GoZync, our fully transactional sync framework, to demonstrate why transactions are so important to sync.

This video is part 2 of a series on FileMaker Transactions. Part 1, titled “Fixing Slow FileMaker Reports” demonstrated one of the many reasons why transactions are an important part of building multi-user FileMaker apps. In this video, we break down the simple FileMaker Transaction that we briefly see in part 1. The video continues with a brief introduction to the low level FileMaker features that are used to build transactions safe scripts.

This video is part 1 in a series on FileMaker Transactions and why you should use them. In this video, we look at a slow FileMaker Report. The report is slow because it is based on unstored calculations. We look at a way to speed up the report, by storing data closer to where the calculation needs to occur. This lets us create our report using less unstored calculations. The result is a report that is much faster.
However, this opens our solution up to database integrity problems because no we have the same data stored in many places. In theory this is a bad practice. But in the real world of multi-user FileMaker applications running over the internet, it turns out to be something you will need to do.
We solve this problem by employing FileMaker Transactions to make sure that we can reliably keep the de-normalized data in sync.
