Sam Barnum Presents Cool Things You Can Do in FileMaker *with* the Right Plugins
On May 19th, 2009, Sam Barnum of 360Works will do a jam-packed demonstration of cool things you *can’t* do in FileMaker–unless you have the right plugin. More than a dozen plugins will be demonstrated to show how to easily:
- Install plugins onto your users desktops without having to touch their computer or even restart FileMaker
- Super-easy audit logging with FileMaker 10 script triggers, with color-coded changes highlighted!
- Search the text of PDF documents inside FileMaker
- Grab files and images from a MySQL database, gmail account and FTP server
- Suck the contents of a web page and all of its images into FileMaker fields
- Send an HTML-formatted e-mail message, with a link to trigger a FileMaker script from the email viewer
- Much, much more!
This will be a fun, fast-paced, informative session–questions and discussion are welcome, which will hopefully go in some new and surprising directions.
FMPug members will be eligible to win a raffle for one plugin of their choice.
