Comment on Logical Calculation by Arnold Kegebein

Thank you for pointing it out. You are right, there were two errors. I guess, I mixed two different versions when I posted that custom function. It is now corrected.

The CF bit.bitset( number; bitLength ) doesn’t work because it contains two undefined custom functions. Could you correct this please?

you should have add to your happy list a new xDBC connector that has real SQL capabilities. The actual one is almost unusable in real scenarios. Very poor JOIN tables support..

Comment on Identify Find Mode by Arnold Kegebein

My solution is the fast and easy (sometimes call: lazy) approach. The header object is easily copied into every required layout.
Your solution takes more time and effort to implement, but it has the advantage for the user to immediately identify the fields he can use for search requests. I use it sometimes too, occasionally mixing it with a solution that does not require the user to switch into find mode at all. I might write about that someday.

I had the same user complaints. I solved the issue with the same function but I used a different visual notifier.

I selected all fields they search on and applied conditional formatting:

Condition: Get( WindowMode ) = 1
Fill Color: light yellow.

So now all fields the user can search on turn yellow when entering find mode.

Best,

You have a couple of typos:
- In the Substitute() on the third line, you have a space in the sting “< ¶"
- In the Case, the first Let() says "Let( $FONTTabs_frontTabs = …" instead of "Let( $FRONTTabs_frontTabs = …"

Too bad this isn’t all true. Googled FileMaker 12 and found your post. Thanks for all the thinking and for your great blog posts. I will be reading them going back into your archives.
