    project management software

    I'm liking openproj so far. It's free, which is a really good thing. Not perfect, but it is helping me out. _______________ [cN]

    Being content with your skillset/career progression

    bonafide, I understand what you are saying. I also think that there is a difference between healthy competition and actualy envey. It doesn't sound like you're actually envious, more like simply using other people as a gauge. I think that it is important to be balanced. Whenever I look at...

    Project+ Worth?

    I've just started studying for this cert. I want to get this one, and would love to get the PMP one as well. I was wondering if anyone thought that it was still relevant. I searched a couple of threads, but they all seem to be several years old. I came across an article where someone asked...

    Is there a way to click on a pdf file name in a field and

    I accomplished something like this by using a container field. I have a script that takes the file name, finds the file in a specified directory, and inserts a link to this. I had to do it this way because even though there may be a record for a file in the database, it doesn't mean that it...

    Import from dbf truncates data

    I would use fields separated by | and perhaps fields delimited by # (or some other character that you don't use). What may be happening is that you may have quotes in your data. When FileMaker is importing this, it may be looking at that quote as the end of the the field, and not knowing what...

    Unable to Export to Comma Delimited, "Invalid Argument"

    Sorry I can't be of more help. I just reread your post, and you basically tried everything that I was going to suggest. The only time I have ever experienced anything similar was when I had the last field as a number or a date or a boolean. Basically, any type that doesn't use quotes to...

    timestamp in field

    ahhhh, I see. After re-reading it, it does seem like that's what he wants. With your suggestion, how do you resolve the scenario where someone clicks in the notes field, but doesn't input anything? The Gotfocus event would automatically put in a timestamp as soon as you click, regardless of...

    Unable to Export to Comma Delimited, "Invalid Argument"

    this is a shot in the dark, but perhaps you have something in a field that is the same character as a delimiter. During the export wizard, try changing the delimitors, like change " to |. See if that works, or try another format, other than txt, see if you still error out. _______________ [cN]

    timestamp in field

    okay, well in that case, if you follow jadams advice, then it should work just fine. in design view, go to the properties of the notes text box, and click on the button associated with the onChange event for "notes." You should go to code builder, and try that code that jadams suggested. If...

    Compiling CSV files

    I think that you can use xicana's solution, but instead of grouping by invoice number, group by GL Account, description and date perhaps, and sum the number of distribution and amount. Are you having trouble grouping? Or figuring out what to group? It seems like there would be a fairly...

    timestamp in field

    if your notes field is part of the same table as the other fields, then the onchange event of the notes should work. If you give us the names of the fields for the table you are working with, we would definitely be able to figure it out. _______________ [cN]

    Question about fields

    yeah, go into field definitions, for your new field, go into options, and create a creation formula for the field, combining the other fields. _______________ [cN]

    Alphabetical order for guest list

    create a sort macro, and attach it to the "on switch to" event of the form. That might help. _______________ [cN]

    Restricting records in Filemaker 8

    my only guess would be to create a filter, and apply it to just your employer's login account. That way, he'll only see those specific records. And perhaps another filter for everyone else. You are talking about records and not fields, correct? _______________ [cN]

    I don't know if that's available, I can't seem to find a way to do it. I think that melmitts might be the only solution! _______________ conceptNEXT.com [cN]

    Connecting to a Oracle Database with Filemaker

    I also received that error. Our Oracle guy created a view for me, and when I connected to filemaker, I could see everything. When I just took the fields available from the "view," it worked fine, but when I tried to select fields that weren't included in the view, I received that error. It...
