I would like to set a text aloud function on FileMaker. is it possible?

How did you set up PDF Manipulator?  I was able to successfully have it interact once I recreated our PDF document and named the fields.  However, did you copy all the PDF Manipulator tables and fields (see screen print) over into one of your Filemaker files?  I'm looking for a best practice more than one right answer.

I would like to compare the text in a field before a checkbox set field is changed (OnObjectEnter) and after it is changed (OnObjectSave) to return what is different.  Is there a function for that?  Can't find it.

Have SuperContainer which allows me to drag and drop files on a container field, which creates a file path and stores the file in it.  However, we have some large files that tend to cause a drag on Filemaker, so I want to create a button where I can store "additional files."  Currently, I have about 30 large files I'd like to just dump in a folder on the server and have a button in FM that accesses them.  I'd like this button to EITHER open the folder path or create it if it is not there (opening is easy; the creating is the problem).  

Is there a way in Filemaker or SuperContainer or some other (hopefully free) method to do what I describe?  

Thank you.

In Filemaker Pro 10 , can it be done or does it require a later version?
I want to have a default value in a field that requires a value from a value list.
Field is "Language" default would be English.
In Options for field
I selected Auto-enter and entered English in data box.
for Validation I choose Always validate and
                                          Allow change during data entry
Under Requires: Member of Value list

Most records will be English, so I don't want everyone to have to worry about filing in the field, only those that are other than English.

I had this question after viewing Filemaker repeating field problem.

The issue is with Filemaker Repetition fields.  In a Contacts file, I wish to place the entered value of the field "DP"  in the repetition corresponding to the day of the week in the field, "DP Day",  based on the value present in any repetition of the field"Day".    
Three fields:  Field 1. is "DP" ~ a single entered value;  
Field 2 "Day" ~ is a Text [7] repetition field ~ each repetition can contain blank or numbers (1 2 3 4 5 6 7 ) corresponding to the day of the week.
Field 3 "DP Day" ~ is a Text [7] repetition filed ~ contains the value of "DP" in the repetition corresponding to the day of the week.

e.g. If Field 1 -  "DP" ='s 100;  and Field 2 -"Day" contains (blank, 3, 7, blank, blank, blank, 4) in the repetitions; The resulting values in Field 3 - "DP Day" should result in the values (blank, 100, 100, blank, blank, blank, 100)

Looking for the equation that will result in the above solution.

Thanks for any thoughts on this.

Client is using LogMeIn remoting service to access remote computers that are running a clinic app with Filemakerpro as a key component.  Through that arrangement, they are printing locally; in this case, prescriptions.

The LogMeIn system nicely sets up printers that are local to the user and remote to the application (note I've flipped "local" and "remote" here!).
Like this:
User remotes into application computer and runs the application.
User, via the app and remoting software, prints "remotely" (from the app computer) back to the client's computer environment.

The printer in question is networked and working fine.
It shows up on the remote app as a LogMeIn remoted printer.

Here is the problem:
Occasionally, prescriptions won't print at all .. I've been able to deal with that.
However, the next thing is that the prescriptions print off to the right edge off the paper and what is printed is mirrored.

I've fixed this before but it's been so long that I can't even find the solution any longer.
I have enabled Force Bitmap Printing to get the printing to work at all.
Now, my notes say: "will only print prescriptions using Java in order to avoid "mirroring".  I can't find any reference to that.  It's NOT about programming anything with Java I can tell you that!  I'm sure it's a selection but where?

This time I'll write it down... promise.

In one of my layouts, I have the property code set #1 in the tab order, but unlike other layouts, when I do a find, it selects another field.  Any ideas?  And, yes, the Find Mode is selected in the Inspector.  In Browse mode, it is in Table View if that makes a difference.

Hi

I have one table with fields for COSTCENTRE and ANNUALBUDGET.
The table has 7 records

I have another table with fields for COSTCENTRE, ACTUAL and TOTALACTUAL (which is a summary of the ACTUAL)
There are many records in this table

I want a report that shows the COSTCENTRE, its BUDGET and the total of all the transactions for that cost centre on the same line.
I would also like to see the variance between the BUDGET and the TOTALACTUAL
How do I do this?

The tables are related through the COSTCENTRE fieldKHub-for-EE.fmp12

Many thanks

When printing from Filemaker, there is a text field being used for notes but it keeps getting cut off after two pages. Is there a size limit on what can be printed out from one text field within Filemaker Pro?

Can You Create Dynamic Columns for Portals?  My boss wants to choose which columns he wants to show because we're running out of screen room etc.  Only way I can think of doing it is to create a pop up layout in table view where he has the column picker.  Any suggestions?
