Script Trigger White Paper for TechNet Members
As Rosemary mentioned at the meeting, Steve Romig of FMI has written a comprehensive Script Trigger white paper. It discusses each of the 13 types of script triggers with tips and techniques. The paper is available as a download for TechNet members.
TechNet is a $99 annual subscription that includes access to technical resources (like the white paper), the TechTalk mailing list and a developer version of FileMaker Server. Visit the TechNet web site for more information, <http://filemaker.com/technet/index.html?nav=community-technet>.
There is another new feature in FileMaker 10 we did not discuss, Enhanced File Recovery. When recovering a file, there is a new Advanced Options button. This allows you selectively enable/disable various parts of the recovery process. For example, one option will allow you to create a new version of a file without any indexes.
We recently used this feature with a client who had a damaged database and no good backup. We identified 12 corrupt fields, removed them and the file passed the recovery process with no errors. There is a white paper for TechNet members by Steven Blackwell that explains this feature.
