Filemaker Pro 5.5, with Tiger, records print twice

I've used Filemaker since 1994, with OS and filemaker in early versions, and all was well, but suddenly, with Filemaker Pro 5.5, with Tiger, all the records print twice (a pain when hundreds of pages of labels print twice). It also happens in a test user profile, and I can't see any settings that would make it happen.

Again may I send you to:

    Lion is not yet released. You will find out after Lion is released. At this point in time no one knows what will be compatible and what will not.

  • MacBook Pro Not Working with Dell V715W Printer?

    Hello.  I have a 2010 MacBook Pro 13-inch that's hooked up to a Dell V715W Printer.  I can print out a test page fine, but nothing else.  It always says "Filter Failed." Sometimes, however, a message comes up with a TON of code and details with the subject saying: "CUPSdriver quit unexpectedly."  What should I do to fix this?  Please help me!

    Reset the printing system.  Google for instructions.

  • FileMaker Pro 11 Conflict with OS Lion

    I installed FMP 11 my iMac (2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) when I had OS Snow Leopard.  I created a FMP 11 database file that was totally functional.  I have since installed Lion.  Now, I am unable to open the file.  The file now requires an account name and password.  I do not recall ever requiring a password or limiting access priviledges when I created the file.  I have entered my account name (as it appears on the credits while opening FMP) and just about every password I've ever used.  Same message:  "The account and password you entered cannot be used to access this file.  Please try again."  I tried resetting access on the Get Info page.  Doesn't work.  I have gone to the FMP Forums and tried the solutions suggested there, including the "tried and tested" best solution offered, i.e. enter the username "Admin" and no password.   Nothing works.  FileMaker Support will charge me $45 an hour to troubleshoot, one hour minimum :-(.  I see there are a few Mac FMP masters out there so if anyone see this, please help.  This is a very critical financial database.  I have speen hours trying to open it and retrieve the data.  Any suggestions?  Should I just reinstall the software and start over?  Would this make it more or less likely I can access the file in question?  It's very frustrating so any help would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.  Rod

    I apologize I didn't list ALL of the MANY fixes I've attempted, including the most likely, i.e. Admin, no pswd, assigning a new account, etc.  NONE of them worked.  I took the file to a Snow Leopard computer and installed FMP 11 there because all of this nonsense started AFTER I upgraded to Lion.  Even that didn't work.  I finally called FMP Support and convinced them this was an installation problem that should be covered free of charge (they wanted $45).  They finally agreed and although I was treated professionally, I was essentially told 1) We've never heard of this problem and 2) It's an Apple problem, not FileMaker.  I advised them to check the FMP forums and they would become enlightened about the problems this is causing.  I agreed, Apple/Lion is certainly at fault as well, but Apple says it is a software problem with FMP . . . so lots of finger pointing.  I am waiting for a FMP developer to call back . . . bottom line, there is nothing FMP can do once a password is lost.  You can buy software to figure out a lost password (very expensive I might add).  My diagnosis:  Lion is the culprit and assigned a userame and password to the file through the keychain process.  I DID FIND A FIX:  Using TimeMachine on my Mac, I went back on the external backup drive to the day before I installed Lion and restored the file . . . it worked and I can open and use it now on Lion.  So my diagnosis is correct . . . Lion corrupted the file by assigning a password I could not recover, although I exhausted every password I've ever used on this computer that could possibly be in the keychain.  Cost?  3 days of pain and suffering.  Do you think I should sue?  :-)  Good luck all.  Rod

  • Filemaker-how to match and flag records in two tables

    Hello,
    Tiger.8
    Filemaker Pro 8.5 Advanced
    I have two related tables in an FMP file.
    Table A has ~300 records, B ~2,000.
    Each record in A is unique for sure; I believe each one in B is unique.
    The goal is to determine whether any of the records in B match one in A based upon student ID.
    These IDs are like social security numbers; i.e., they are preassigned, unique 9-character values rather than ones that I'm assigning within FMP.
    Like SSNs, these IDs are unique. So within Table A, each ID is unique. Likewise, within B the IDs are unique.
    However, some IDs in A might also be in B. I need to find out programmatically which ones, if any, are in both tables.
    If a match exists, I need to flag a field in each table.
    I found and modified an AppleScript that someone else wrote.
    The original is as follows.
    tell application "FileMaker Pro"
    activate
    show every record of database "Original Database"
    show every record of database "Old Database"
    set field "Match" of document "Original Database" to ""
    set orgList to field "Full Name" of document "Original Database"
    set oldList to field "Full Name" of document "Old Database"
    set matchList to field "Match" of document "Original Database"
    repeat with i from 1 to (count of orgList)
    if oldList contains item i of orgList then
    set item i of matchList to "Match"
    end if
    end repeat
    set field "Match" of document "Original Database" to matchList
    show (every record of database "Original Database" whose cell "Match" = "Match")
    sort layout 2 of document "Original Database" by field "Last Name"
    show layout 2 of document "Old Database"
    end tell
    My revision is as follows.
    tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced"
    activate
    show every record of table "A" of document "test"
    show every record of table "B" of document "test"
    set field "flag" of table "A" of document "test" to ""
    set field "flag" of table "B" of document "test" to ""
    set AList to field "ID" of table "A" of document "test"
    set BList to field "ID" of table "B" of document "test"
    set flagList to field "flag" of table "A" of document "test"
    repeat with i from 1 to (count of AList)
    if BList contains item i of AList then
    set item i of flagList to "flag"
    end if
    end repeat
    set field "flag" of table "A" of document "test" to flagList
    set field "flag" of table "B" of document "test" to flagList
    show (every record of database "test" whose cell "flag" = "flag")
    sort layout 1 of document "test" by field "ID"
    show layout 1 of document "test"
    end tell
    I sort of understand what each of the above commands does, but would appreciate answers to the following questions.
    1. How come a test record that I created in A and B that has bogus ID 1234 does not get flagged by the above revised script, but other records with valid matching IDs in both A and B do get flagged?
    2. How come all records in A that got flagged by the revised script do have counterparts in B, but only some of the ones in B that have a match in A got flagged?
    3. How do the commands "set Alist" and "set Blist" function?
    4. How do I fix the revised script so that it properly, correctly matches IDs between A and B, then properly, correctly flags the records in A and B that have matching IDs?
    Many thanks in advance and happy weekend!

    if i write a query then i can easily understand the same data is existed in two tables

    So, what is your problem now?
    You can join both the tables using a simple query and get the records.
    select e1.empname, e2. empname from emp1 e1, emp2 e2 where
    e1.empname = e2.empname and e1.empid = e2.empid

  • Filemaker Pro 9 file won't print p 4  pdf issue?  Good Filemaker Pro site?

    Today is one of those print file from hades days. A 77 page file in Filemaker Pro 9 will print until it gets to page four. Then the printer times out and drops the file. What printer you ask? Well, the first ten tries were on a Laserwriter Pro 16/600 PS. It prints any other page just fine. So, I tried saving the file as a pdf. Preview will display the page but not print either. So I export the records on that page into a new database with just the records on page four. Still will not print page one of only one page. I add a new record by duplicating one record. That spills one record onto page two. Page two prints just fine. Could one of the records have a bitter code pill that corrupts the print file?
    I copy the pdf to a thumb drive and take it to a different computer. The second 16/600 PS does not print the page. The LED flashes several times then goes solid without printing. Then the HP 4500 does not print it.
    Can anyone recommend a good public forum for Filemaker issues? Sites I have found so far are commercial in nature. I have used Filemaker with great satisfaction since 1985 and Filemaker Plus. No major complaints until Filemaker Pro 9. Version 2 was great. Still use it once a week. Pro 3 was also problem free as was Pro 4. Any ideas would be appreciated. I am usually in the legacy products discussions but new software requires OS X.
    Thanx in advance.

  • 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."

  • 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?

  • Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - ...trying to record with Videostudio, Virtual VCR, Roxio DVD Builder

    ...just bought (and installed) a SoundBlaster Audigy 2ZS Platinum Pro - the one with the "breakout box" - to replace the on-board Dell audio sound system, which seems to have died after 4 months.
    I am able to get good, clear sound from any and all applications that use "playback" audio.
    At present, I can get "playback sound" from one program feature that came with my capture device - an Aver Media USB 300, which was plugged in to the "Line in 2" socket on the break out box. Then I tried to record with it... - "Record Operation Failure!" I'm stilll waiting to see what responses I get from the Aver message board in that regard.
    Then I tried recording video (and the accompanying audio) with Ulead Videostudio 8, Virtual VCR, and Roxio DVD Builder, none of which could record sound, even in "preview mode". Before the on board sound system stopped functioning, those features worked on all of the above programs except for Virtual VCR, which I hadn't yet installed or tried out.
    I've checked the Play/Record Volume Control in "Accessories/Entertainment" and the Line 2 is activated and selected. I've tried plugging in to Line /Mic but that hasn't worked either. I need to go to Radio Shack to get an adapter to plug in to Line 3 and give that a try.
    But before I spend even more money, have you ever seen anything like this?
    - Jeff.

    Jorge,
    Thanks kindly for the suggestion, during the installation it did not complain about this patch being installed allready, I'll give this one more shot and see if it persits.
    I ran memtest on the machine (10 cycles) wow this thing (G5) is loud in single user mode. I guess the fans don't have power management enabled.
    I'm guessing that the issue is from lack of RAM, (512) but I am not 100% on this. Though my research points towards that, It's kind of odd that an app would reach into some other memory segment.
    Thank You Again.
    I throught all Tiger updates would be obtainable via "Software Update" . I should have searched support.apple.com first.

  • Macbook pro fails to read sd card with movies recorded on it, any ideas? I can view them in the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it.

    My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
    I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.

  • How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?

    How can I obtain a version of Print Studio Pro that works with Photoshop Elements 13 (64 bit)?  The advertising refers to Print Studio Pro 2 but all I find available to download is version 1.35.

    Thanks - I did notice that the 2 was a superscript on one site but on another (I think the one for the Pro-10 printer) it was definitely a 2 in line with the rest of the text and separated by a space (at least on my browser).  At any rate, I suspected something of the kind and will simply use Photoshop Elements 11 when I want a pattern print until the change is made.
    If you have an inside line to Canon you might also suggest some changes to their Image Garden program, specifically its handling of DVD label projects.  It has several themes and within each theme several layouts.  As far as they go these are fine but they do not give nearly enough flexibility.   The boxes for insertion of images are useful as is the simple procedure for rescaling the image so it is cropped in varying ways while staying within the fixed box.  However, it should be possible (a) to relocate the boxes on the page and (b) to resize and reshape the boxes - probably by a control which would become available by right-clicking on the box.  For example, there are times when the user might want to include a full 16 x 9 frame shot as one of the images, and in general the aspect ratios of the provided boxes do not permit this.
    I have over the years preferred to use Word for this purpose after setting up masks to expose just the printable area of the DVD or Blu-ray disc, setting up the margins so that the center of the disc is in the horizontal center of the page, and finally introducing text and pictures and adjusting the font size of blank lines above the disc to line everything up properly in the vertical direction.  A typical layout might involve one large picture, located so the center hole and the curved outer edge do not block anything important, or two pictures side by side, or four pictures centered vertically (to minimize the effect of the outer edge of the disc) but possibly of different widths (so as to make both close-ups and wide scenes optimal on the same disc label).  The text then goes above and below the pictures.  All of this works perfectly so I probably wouldn't use Image Garden very often for this purpose, but the inability to resize and relocate the boxes must be very limiting for others as well. 
    Some of the layouts have image locations severely reduced by the edge of the disc.
    As I said ... if you have an inside line to Canon .. but if not, please excuse the length of this post!
