FileMaker Training – Having One Client… activate a script on another client

by -

FileMaker does not natively contain this ability on its own… and normally it would take a Plugin… to get the ability to have one client start a script… on another client. BUT… this amazing use of the OnRecordLoad script trigger opens the door to endless possibilities, as you can perform scripts on a client without a Plugin. It’s a bit of a hack… but it works… and it’s pretty amazing.

Thanks to ClickWorks, in Belgium, for building a free demo file called Client to Client that allows you to message another client from within FileMaker! Watch the video for a quick brain dump!

Using FileMaker 13 WebDirect for Registration or Creating a Survey – NEW

by -

Important Note: WebDirect is for limited access… with limited numbers of users. If you have 10…or maybe 15 users who might sign up at one time… then WebDirect might be OK for you use. This is light weight *simultaneous* access.

If you are using FileMaker Server 13…then you can easily setup a Survey or Registration web page that fills information directly into your FileMaker database… without any programming. The trick is to get the browser to “auto-login” to a WebDirect page. This video will walk you through the process of setting this up. This video also shows you how to hide the toolbar and the menu bar…so the user cannot “see” they are in FileMaker. Very Cool!!!
