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), […]

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.
