Link to Filemaker pro database from wiki fails

Has anyone tried to create a link from within a wiki page that can launch a filemaker pro 9 database residing on the Xserve? I'm able to create the link in the edit page but when I click to save, the underlining disappears and the link is no more. I'm able to link to web-sites on the WWW and within other wiki pages but not to the fmnet:/XXX.XX.XXX.XX/HOME prompt. Thanks

As I read this, you want to go from a web server using http protocol to a database server using its own protocol. You could use a redirect to take a link like http://domain.com/groups/fmpro to fmnet://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/HOME assuming the fmnet link is the link provided in the Menu/Send Link action of FM Pro.
You can also read another approach here:

  • Can I run a filemaker pro database in iCloud

    can I run a filemaker database in icloud

    Though its true you can host a Filemaker Pro database on iCloud, I did something which might be interesting or valuable to you.
    I made a database with all file containers stored outside the database.  The result is a lightweight database that links all images/pdf/etc to a path in the same context as the database is stored. 
    I used then Dropbox and I can access the database from multiple machines, though not edit/add information at the same time.  Its even posible to open the database on your iOS device and see changes, etc, with the last stored database on Dropbox.
    I know this wont work for anybody, but it did for my girlfriend who stores data at work, and later review it at home.

  • Indexing Filemaker Pro database with Spotlight?

    ...am I missing something or why can't Spotlight find ANY entries in my Filemaker Pro databases? I have set no exclusion for indexing.
    All my Music, Movies, collections etc are catalogued in Filemaker but Spotlight can't find it. It lists everything else, iTunes songs,email attachments, words in documents and records and numbers in spreadsheets.
    Thanks

    I just stumbled upon a mdimporter for OpenOffice but I had to look inside the package.
    app-package / contents / Library/Spotlight
    OOoSpotlightImporter.mdimporter
    I double-clicked and first time in 8 yrs using OS X, asked if I wanted to add to Spotlight Plug-in, so I said "yes."
    Does an app (OpenOffice in this case) add its mdimporter to Spotlight the first time it launches? No.
    There was none in /Library/Spotlight and I've never known about this, or the need to find and add to Spotlight. And this was only the 2nd application I've added that includes an importer (URL Manager is old but had one).
    +(I would love to exclude url and bookmark(s unchecked) it still finds bookmark - Safari reads the bookmark.plist and writes them into ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari/+
    More custom prefs and features in the control panel.
    Search inside the folder I am in, which seems obvious.
    Ability to add a folder to the search index, or to update.
    I would like Spotlight if it was half as good as Vista's (also has a much more robust open/save but those aren't enough reasons to use Vista.
    Don't start indexing a drive that I just formatted and backing up to (ask first, and wait until I/O and system is "quiet").
    Searching for tech notes on or a www.apple.com/support/spotlight or /leopard/spotlight didn't bring up anything but "features" but nothing useful.
    Do I need a developer's manual to get more from Spotlight?
    Path Finder search/find but it has a problem with preventing quitting and with shutdown/restart so I can't leave it in the background. It searches 'everywhere' so it can't just depend on Spotlight's indexes.... can it?

  • Unable to get Database Connectivity vi to List Tables of a Filemaker Pro database

    Hello Forum,
    I've been successful using my ODBC Admin to create a System DSN for a simple Filemaker Pro db on my PC running Windows XP (I wish I could delete my previous post asking for help doing that!).  Now, my LV program successfully "connects" to the db using the "DB Tools Open Connection vi".  However, I cannot get the "DB Tools List Tables" vi to give me a list of the database's tables.  LV just returns an empty string array.  However, I can accomplish other tasks such as listing the columns of a table using the "DB Tools List Columns" vi.
     Any thoughts on why I cannot list the db's tables??

    Hi NI,
    I am still getting a empty string array result when I use "DB Tools List Tables" vi.  I am running Filemaker Pro 10.0v1 and LabVIEW 8.2.  I can get other DB VIs to work just fine, namely: "DB Tools List Columns", "DB Tools Insert Data", "DB Tools Execute Query" and "DB Tools Fetch Recordset Data".  I can obviously work around not having the "List Tables" code, but it makes me wonder where I'm going wrong.

  • Macbook Pro wake from sleep fails

    I am having problems with my Macbook Pro 15" waking from sleep. I was not having these problems until I re-installed OS X a few weeks ago, and now almost everytime I close the lid and take it home from work it will not wake up properly. It appears to be "half" waking as I can just about make out the image on the screen, but the backlight does not come on, and I can not see a pointer so I have to hold the power button and hard reset it.
    I have also tried downloading the combo update to 10.6.3 and re-applying that to see if that helped, which it seemed to as I had a few days without a problem, then this morning I took it out to a customers site and it didn't wake up again.
    Anyone else having these problems? Anyone got any ideas for a fix?
    I appreciate any help/ideas!!

    Hi there.
    Both my wife and I have started having this problem with our MacBooks in the last few weeks. On waking from sleep the screen is black (though in the right light you can see that it's active, just not backlit), and the Mac goes to sleep again within a minor or so. Both Macs are less than a year old.
    I discovered a fix by accident: give the machine a sharp nudge once it's awake! Makes me think there might be a problem with the motion sensor, in hardware or software. May disable it if this continues.
    Hi Mike,
    I'm not sure this is really a solution to "sharply nudge" or slap your laptops. If the sudden motion sensor is bad, this is something we should be able to diagnose and have Apple repair. But I'm not entirely sure we have the same issue. For starters I have a 240GB SSD drive in mine that should have no sudden motion sensor, if I'm not mistaken.
    These are bright, horizontal bolts, that shoot in perpendicular lines. The irony is that I cannot record them on-screen directly, but have to do so using a hand held camera. I also used the "Apple LCD Tester" and the striping does NOT appear on any of the solid images it kicks up.
    I have yet to be able to isolate the source of the disruption and (as I mentioned before) it has a brand new logic board and the problem persists.
    BTW, it's not my intention to hijack this thread. I think these threads are related and the only reference I've found in all of the discussions is the one mentioned here. I can start a new thread if I've violated protocol.
    Thanks again for everyone's help.

    Right now there is no app store for Filemaker Go.   Filemaker Forgot about us.
    So I want to create a simple native iPhone App that all it does
    is launch
    fmp://~/filename.fmp12?$VariableName=value
    This URL will launch the Filemaker Go App
    Filemaker Go is a app that the user will have to have
    downloaded already on the device..
    The Simple Native app will launch the Filemaker Go.
    The fmp  URL has the information where the Filemaker Pro database is hosted
    and get  the user where they need to be..
    Help Me please
    iPhone 5s, iOS 8.1.3

    That would be software. And, you said "upload." That's "uploading software." Why do you question what you stated?
    I don't know where you even want to upload this software. The only way it can be downloaded to a device is through the iTunes store. Do you even know what you want to do?

  • Open Filemaker v2 database?

    No forum area for this ... but hopefully someone can help: I need to extract data from some old Filemaker 2 databases (flat file). My Filemaker 7 says I need Filemaker 2 to open these -- and I have no access to FM2.
    Is there an inexpensive or free way to grab these data?
    A Perl script someone has written, perhaps? Thanks!

    According to this site,
    http://filemaker.custhelp.com
    the following might work:
    CONVERTING REALLY OLD FILEMAKER PRO FILES:
    The following FileMaker Pro file formats cannot be directly converted using FileMaker Pro 7, FileMaker Pro 8/8.5, or FileMaker Pro 9:
    FileMaker II
    FileMaker Pro 1.x
    FileMaker Pro 2.x
    If the file(s) you desire to convert are in one of these formats, they must first be converted using a copy of FileMaker Pro 3.x - FileMaker Pro 6.x before they can be converted into FileMaker Pro 7, FileMaker Pro 8/8.5, or FileMaker Pro 9 If you do not have a previous version of FileMaker Pro available, you can download a trial version of FileMaker Pro 6 from one of the following links:

  • I want to be able to view data created with filemaker pro on my muse site

    I have created a muse site and would like to include a page that has five drop down menus on it that pull from a (preferably filemaker pro) database. The idea being, that each dropdown determines where the next set of data is pulled from in the database.
    I have spent some time looking around and seen a lot of information about business catalyst etc but have not seen a clear and definitive answer.
    Can anybody point me in the right direction?
    Many thanks in advance!

    Thank you Anshul, much appreciated. I will look into trying this! Ill get back to you. Thanks for the link too. Ill take the following(see below) from it and try that out too!
    "Late to the party but I've worked with filemaker pro in the past and the BC API extensively.
    Filemaker pro is well filemaker pro, it's meant for little commercial ventures or organizing your CD collections, anything business with over 20,000 records I would use or get something else (like BC). Even MS acesss is better, although harder to use, filemaker is also prone to database corruption so you need to backup.
    For automation, filemaker pro has ODBC connect-ability so you can directly access the data stored within it, piping data in or out or to the BC API if you wanted. Since filemaker pro is a self contained local app (and if I were building something) I would build a little local tool app you could launch and import / export the data for you based on your business rules or what you were trying to automate, this could be automated if you wanted to do something like that.
    If you or anyone is interested, it's relatively straight forward working with ODBC since it's base is SQL to get to the data. Just need the business logic on what you want to achieve."

  • How to uninstall FileMaker Pro 10 in Lion?

    Hey guys!
    I want to uninstall FileMaker Pro 10 from my computer. I checked on the FileMaker Website and this is what i've found: http://help.filemaker.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7095/~/uninstalling-filemaker- pro-and-filemaker-pro-advanced
    Basically the uninstall consists in deleting the FileMaker Pro folder from the applications folder and also locating the "FileMaker Pro 10.0 Prefs" file to delete it as well. The path to locate this file according to the instructions is: <home>/Library/Preferences/FileMaker Preferences/ FileMaker Pro 10.0 Prefs
    First of all I noticed that there is no longer a library folder for the users in the computer like previous versions of Mac OS X. The only one is under Macintosh HD and when I looked into the preferences folder there is no "FileMaker Pro 10.0 Prefs" file.
    I did a spotlight search for this file and it doesn't seem to exist. What should I do? should I just delete the FileMaker Application folder and that's it or is there anything else I need to delete? Has lion integrated it to the app folder somehow?
    Thanks for your help!

    William, thanks for your help! I found the folder and the file. Well the reason I would like to remove this file is because I want to install  FileMaker Pro 11 Advanced upgrade. Now I checked with filemaker and they say that in order to upgrade you don't need to have a previous version of the program installed in order to correctly upgrade but you need to enter the old version serial number in order for the new version to work. If I don't uninstall filemaker Pro 10 before I install the new version i will have two versions of filemaker and two sets of preferences folders and I think that could turn messy.
    Any comments are welcome and thanks again.

  • Configure static ip address through time capsule for Filemaker Pro

    I am trying to setup a static IP Address for Filemaker Pro Instant Web Publishing.
    My current configuration is that I have a Netgear CG3100D modem/router set up to be a modem only.  NAT Mode is Disabled (Bridge Mode).  This is then connected to my Apple TimeCapsule.
    What I am now trying to do is to configure my Windows 7 PC to have a static IP address so that remote devices can access my filemaker pro database.
    I have downloaded (and configured?) a tool called no-ip DUC v3.04 that I thought would help solve my connection issues, but I think that I still have a problem with how to open a port number.
    When i open my browser and make a connection on my network with the ip address:port number specified through Filemaker I can get a connection.  However I can not get a connection remotely.
    I know I haven't provided a great deal of information here, but I am happy to provide more, once I konw what information is required.
    Any assistance or advice with this would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    I'm not too familiar with FileMaker Pro, but if you like to give static IP addresses to anything you would have to use DHCP Reservations using Airport Utility.
    Open Airport Utility, select the Time Capsule device, click Manual Setup, navigate the Internet icon, then the DHCP tab, you'll see DHCP Reservations towards the bottom.

  • Is there a cheap or free good alternative program to Filemaker pro that will work on Mavericks and allow me to open FM databases from version 7?

    I recently switched from a power pc (2004 I think) to a MacBook Pro, and had to upgrade so much. My old system was running Filemaker pro 7. I really need a good database program for my work (freelance/self-employed), and have forked out so much money on other programs, that I'm hoping I can find a freeware or shareware version of a good DB program to use that will work for me. Any suggestions? I am not that tech-savvy. Thanks.

    Ditto on all those points.  I recommend Carbon Copy Cloner to make a full bootable backup.  Time Machine is NOT adequate, particularly for virtual machines.
    After upgrading to Yosemite, make sure you do a repair permissions in disk utility....and be prepared for some 10.10 bugs (it's just now becoming stable).

  • What ODBC driver to use in order access Filemaker Pro from Excel

    Hi
    I run Filemaker Pro 11 and Excel on my Mac OSX 10.5.
    I want to access my Filemaker database directly from Excel (to use the data in Pivot tables without first having to export the data from Filemaker). What ODBC driver should I use?

    Bruce, I have an indexed, 5 Billion record MS-Access Jet (Red) 4.x format database file system (no table linking), 1 table only, each MDB file acting as a partial table, not a database. This database contains 500 x 2-GIG files, each file with 10
    million rows - text compression/encryption turned on.  I created this 1 Terabyte file system (empty) using ODBC Administrator which came installed on my Windows 7 Home Premium Laptop (Factory installed, no Service Packs).  I used ODBC/SQL then
    to create the tables/indexes within the empty MDB files.   I have a MEMO data type in my table too with text as long as 528 characters.    I have used MIMEbase64 encoding too, so that the data is not humanly readable neither via SQL
    nor by opening an MDB file in WordPad.   I do the decoding during SQL processing.
    In my FILE DSN, I bumped Threads property to 510 from default 3, so that I could run 510 simultaneous/concurrent SQL processes on my Laptop, to produce reliable report output. 
    You might consider this little setup, if nothing else works, as long as the PCs have either Windows XP or 7 installed.   MS-Access ODBC driver is already installed for Jt 4.x format, and you can compact/repair the 4.x files using ODBC Administrator,
    or get the GUI/commandline utility JetComp.exe to do it, which is freely distributable.
    I know this is not likely your answer, but it is a good fall back perhaps for someone.

  • Repeat loop in filemaker Pro 7 database

    How can I get my script to loop through a large FM database of records and change the data in a particular field as in the script below? I cannot figure out the syntax for the repeat loop...
    with timeout of "3000" seconds
    tell application "FileMaker Pro"
    go to database "CPA FM Log Copy"
    show every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy"
    set theCount to number of record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" as integer
    repeat with i from record theCount of database "CPA FM Log Copy"
    if field "ph" of record i of database "CPA FM Log Copy" is "NG" then
    set data field "ph" of current record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Nice Going"
    else if field "ph" of record i of database "CPA FM Log Copy" is "EC" then
    set data field "ph" of current record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Everything Cool"
    end if
    end repeat
    end tell
    end timeout

    Depending on the number of records in the database, this isn't the most efficient way of doing this.
    You should use a 'whose' clause in your script to narrow the FileMaker results to the subset of records you want to change, then change them all at once. This is far more efficient than looping through thousands of records in AppleScript looking for the ones you want.
    This should get you on the right track:
    <pre class=command>tell application "Filemaker Pro"
    go to database "CPA FM Log Copy"
    set theResults to every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" whose field "ph" is "NG"
    set data field "ph" of every item of theResults to "Nice Going"
    set theResults to every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" whose field "ph" is "EC"
    set data field "ph" of every item of theResults to "Everything Cool"
    end tell</pre>
    In this way you let Filemaker do the searching (which is what it's optimized for), and your script does the least work necessary.
    BTW, just so you know why your original script fails, it's because you say:
    <pre class=command>set data field "ph" of current record of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Nice Going"</pre>
    Note that you're always setting the 'current record'. This means that even if there are 1000 records in the database, you only ever set the first field. If you wanted to maintain the repeat approach this would have to change to something like:
    <pre class=command>set data field "ph" of record i of database "CPA FM Log Copy" to "Nice Going"</pre>
    so now it uses the loop iterator to track which record to change. An even better model that does use a scalar index is to do something like:
    <pre class=command>repeat with curRecord in every record of database "CPA FM Log Copy"
    if field "ph" of curRecord is "NG" then
    set data field "ph" of curRecord to "Nice Going"
    end if
    end repeat</pre>
    This nice thing about this model is that it uses FileMaker's internal references for records so that you know you're changing the right thing. This can be crucial if working in a multi-user database where there might be someone else is editing the data in parallel, changing theCount.
