Expert, Certified FileMaker developer with extensive knowledge about developing for process management.
We had our first monthly meeting after the FileMaker Developer Conference this year yesterday. We moved to a new location: Essex Computers 185 Rt 17 North Paramus, NJ 07652 (201) 576-0001 The new location is cozy, there is a projector, the tables can be folded up so we can even dance (if we care to), […]

It is not the easiest task to achieve this, however. Most web developer friends wold say, they don’t understand the problem. They would even offer to make some javascript code […]
This post contains a free demo file that will show you how to use hidden tab controls and navigate them dynamically via a drop-down menu. The menu automatically gets generated based on the tabs on the layout. This technique can be freely implemented in your solutions.
In the process of creating solutions for their clients, FileMaker developers often find it easier to put the client’s database(s) on their own desktops, notebooks or servers rather than connecting to a remote computer. A lot of clients I deal with don’t pay too much attention to security, and it’s our job as developers to […]
Running scripts from FileMaker Server can dramatically reduce execution time. I have been an avid fan of server-side scripting since it was introduced in FileMaker 9. Now, with the introduction of FileMaker Go it is more important to take the burden away from the client and do as much processing on the server as possible. There’s […]
