    Working with large databases

    I currently have a database that contains around 11 million records. If there is a power failure or if filemaker is shut down manually without closing the files, the large database is always damaged when I try and reopen it. Is there anyway for me to avoid this aside from creating backup copies...

    Networking problems with a new CPU

    Thanks for pointing that out, I actually meant to use PC but kept typing cpu. There have been a lot of programs installed already, however, if worse comes to worse then that may be the only option left to do but I am still hoping for another solution.

    How to delete a specific part of a text in a function?

    What I am trying to do is delete the suite number of an address. However, not all addresses have suite numbers and I haven't figured out a way for the calculation to identify which records to edit and not edit. Each record that has a suite number has a "#" symbol after the address and before the...

    Repeating Field question for FM Pro 8

    Thanks for the tips. I failed to mention that the repeating fields would actually be used just to store temporary data. Basically the repeating fields would be a marker of sorts.

    Thanks for the tip. But does FM have something for the date also, without me having to refresh the specified date field each day?

    Date field question

    Does FM Pro 8 have an actual current date field that uses my computers clock. I know that there is the "Date Symbol" that shows the date accordingly but I cannot use it in a calculation or can I? The Get (current date) option does not update itself, it merely inserts the current date into the...

    Linking 2 different scripts in FM 8

    I want to link 2 scripts together only when the first script (which is a specified find) reveals that there are no matches. Is there any other way other than adding a calculation using the "if" option? Any advice would be helpful.

    Thanks for the example. Will it also work if all records were imported at the same time, meaning they all have the same creation date?

    How to remove duplicate records w/o deleting the original record

    How can I remove duplicate records from FM without deleting one of the duplicate records? I want to remove the dupes but still want the original or one of the records to not be deleted in the database. Any advice would be greatly helpful.
