On Filemaker, I would like to create a daily task chart with toggle buttons.
how to show which task is not done at end of day.

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?

One of my employees/customers gets a strange font in Filemaker if they close it out and then reopen it.  The only way they can clear up this problem is to reboot their whole PC.  We've scanned their PC for viruses and malware with no luck.  Any ideas?

ON the server, the Admin Console No Longer Appears in the Browser.  Could it be because of a Java or Windows upgrade?  Using FM server 16.0.3

Hello. I built a database using FileMaker. In my table, each record has an automatically generated ID number (specific field): 1,2,3,4 5, etc....
When I delete a record, this field is not automatically renumbered. For example, if I delete record #3, my table will contain 1,2,4,5.
Is there a way I can automatically renumber to 1,2,3,4 and ensure that the last record ID corresponds to the total number of records?

I need help building the following JSON using native Filemaker 16 commands

SQL 2012 is not supposed to be compatible with Filemaker 11 Server but I made it work. I have a live connection and wish to utilize it. Does anyone know of any risks in using it to import data from sql into filemaker? The company only supports up to SQL 2008, but our databases are all SQL 2012, and FileMaker 11.

I have a layout that is able to display a field that is defined as a calculation in its table. The data displays correctly. I then decided to add three more fields on  my layout using three more fields that were defined as calculations. When navigating through the records, i notice that only one of the four fields on my layout displays the data that is calculated on the table.  It only displays one of the four, not two or three or four, but just any one of the four.
Table A (User Settings) is in relationship with Table B (Device Settings).
The fields in the relationship are two:
ContactID = ContactID
UserLocation = DeviceLocation

All fields are entered in DeviceSettings table.
There is a dropdown on devices that is used to select the employee that is assigned that device.
That device is also entered with a value of either for field DeviceLocation: Local, Remote, etc.
The layout called User Settings is a layout that will house all the devices assigned to a user.
If an employee is at the local site as there work location, the relationship should display all items associated with that employee contact ID and place them in there corresponding field.
I used in the UserSettings table on the four fields the field type as : calculation.
I used the If structure to calculate the field. It works correctly when only one field is on the layout with the calculation field, but the moment i enter other calculated fields on the same layout, it only displays one of the four …

So I have 4 tables

Students
Courses
Instrcutors
Compnay

from how I see it it's like this...
one student can take manny courses so thats one to many.
one course can have many students  so thats also one to many
that makes them a many to many relationship.
to connect them I would use a join table (STUDENTS_courses)
The same would be true for the company and Instructors.

So my question is this....
Can I use the same (STUDENTS_courses) also as a join table? if so it would look like this.




Can this be done?
I'm not sure if I can only use one join table.

Any suggestions?

If it's wrong, what would be the correct way to do it?

Respectfully
J.Pineiro

Can someone show me how to create a field that will should a found set of a search?

not sure how to go about it.

Respectufully
