10 FileMaker 10 Techniques

At first glance, FileMaker 10 is mostly about a new interface and a new toolbar. But FileMaker 10 also introduces outstanding improvements for developers. Download these examples and see how the new features will change the way you develop. Radically.

These files were presented at the Paris FM Conférence 2009.by Fabrice Nordmann, founder of 1-more-thing.

They were improved in order to be more easily portable to your solutions.

Save/Restore Finds. Add the ability to store and restore a find to your solutions. Beyond the new native FileMaker 10 feature called Saved Finds, this technique shows how you can create a record for each saved find. Would you like to share a find with another user, or control precisely in which context you want to see a find… this technique is for you. It is comparable to Mac OS X/Mail.app/iTunes Smart Folders: do a find once, redo it as many times as you like.
