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.

Has anyone found any major problems with Filemaker 17?  We currently have FM 16 and are completely dissatisfied it.  Instead of the usual 3-4 seconds, it takes anywhere from 8-15 seconds to open AND sometimes it doesn't open at all.  Worked with FM tech support for a year and tried all the solutions in EE, but couldn't figure it out.  Seems that FM 16 doesn't always close out all the way because a reboot seems to solve the problem of not opening up, though not the delay problem.  Appreciate any advice on FM 17.  Thank you.

Filemaker Pro 13 - need to know how to copy a field with a script. I have a layout that contains a button. Due to internal controls, this layout has to be populated, then the person who filled it out has to click a button and copy two of the fields to another table in a separate database. This seems like a simple script, but I am not proficient in composing FMP scripts, and all of the results from Google are data imports and exports. I have hundreds of users with Filemaker Pro, and a single license of FileMaker Pro Advanced on the server that shares the databases. The users do not have access to the Advanced edition, so I am trying to do this complete in the "non-Advanced" version that they will be using. How do I do this?

filemaker pro 14 "save as pdf "
I created a layout with some labels and fields and tried to save it as PDF.I didnt used any scripts.But when i saved it as PDF,the field widths are getting reduced by few points.It is showing difference in widths in A4 size paper after i print the pdf.
Can anyone help me out of this problem.Thanks in advance.

Is there an easy way to put a portal scroll on the left side instead of the right?  Don't see an option for it in portal settings.

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

I have a field set to send auto data ( D&R)

when I create a new record and go to the Kitchen tab the auto data dose not appear.
When I click on the check box next to it, the auto data appears.
If I take of the auto data, and I click on the check box next to it, it just places the check mark.

Not sure what I'm doing wrong...
I checked to make sure that each field has the correct values form is correct and are even spelled diff.

I have done the same in a diff tab and it works correctly, so i'm not sure why its not working on the kitchen tab.
