I'm trying to eliminate the extra blank pages that print as a result of empty portals (sliding does not minimize this space). I have two ideas of how to accomplish this but need help implementing them. I need to know if there is a script that counts the number of filled portals or number of...

Problem Resolved. I found two ways to do this, there are probably many more. First and easiest way is to export the found-set into a temporary file, then import the new temp file. As you will see in a later post of mine, a command script may be written to delete this temporary file after the...

I am trying to write a script to delete all records in another FMP 7 Database. Essentially the script will export records, re-import those same records, then either delete the records in the outside file or delete the entire file. I'd prefer the latter of the two, but will settle for either...

Sorry, I should have opened the template before I responded. Enter the Layout mode again and view the "Timecard Form" via the pull-down menu at the leftmost of the page. Click on "Company Name and Logo" in the Header and delete it. Then go to the "Insert Menu" and insert the picture that is...

View the time card in "Layout" mode. Go to the "Insert Menu," and insert "Part" choose "Title Header" Drag the dotted line to the size you want the logo to appear in. Go back to the Insert Menu and insert "Picture" where you will designate the source file for you company logo.

I have a found set in columnar form. I would like to copy the found set into a portal in another table (which then creates new records in the new table) I have the portal and found set working, however cannot figure out the script to copy the found set into the portal. The Fields are the...

Figured this out. Create an IF statement as mentioned earlier and use the [Get(LastMessageChoice)= #] function pertaining to the button's corresponding number (1-3).

I wrote a script to display a custom message when deleting a portal row. Within the message are two buttons (titled cancel and ok). The buttons in the message do nothing however. I understand I need some script that indicates IF choose button one (ok/delete) Continue Script and IF choose...

FMP 7 indicates when you do not enter in a date correctly (for example using 12/12/12 rather than 12/12/2012). Is there a way to specify the way data is entered into a field for example similar to the previous date validation? I want a field to ALWAYS be in the form "333333-AB-22" Numbers and...

Resolved the sliding portal problem however the blank pages still follow the body of the text. For instance, it is printing 4 pages because the portal rows span 4 pages in the layout mode however when the data is in the portal and slid up to its last value, it only uses 3 pages, how do I...

Still having trouble getting the portal to slide. Everything else seems to be sliding perfectly, however when I go to print, there are a few blank pages that always print following the actual text in the body. Again I appreciate all help/ideas

Having some trouble getting a portal to slide. The fmp 7 help guide states "Portals slide like any other non-field object, but objects within a portal can't slide. If you specify that a portal slides up and the enclosing part shrink, FMP omits empty portal rows." Sorry for my ignorance as I...

Sorry for all the posts, but I'm a newb and the more I read, the more I learn. I guess what I'm actually looking to do is to create a list resembling a portal however with no relation to another table; an individual and expandable list for each record.

Had an additional question. How would I go about displaying the date a file was last modified (if this can't be done, the date it was last accessed). I'm using FMP 7 by the way.

I'm trying to make a table in the sense of 5 columns and a varrying number of rows (depending on the record). Is there something that allows me to do this. The table must appear in all records with 5 columns however the number of rows will change with each record. Thanks
