Filemaker 6 is crashing on my MacBook Pro when I try to select a user dictionary. I tried deleting preference files. Then I reinstalled Filemaker from the original installlation disk.
View 1 RepliesIs there a way to 'bulk' add new words to the InDesign dictionary? I do a lot of menus and a lot of the food terms come up as spelling mistakes.
I was wondering if there was a quicker way to customize the dictionary than telling the spell check to learn the words as I go. EG add one huge text file to the dictionary with all the words or something.
I still get beach balls when doing the basic of things. For example, it sometimes takes 10 seconds for the dictionary to come up after right clicking a word and selecting "look up dictionary". Then again, sometimes it is instant. Similar things happen when looking at a document that is a .pdf, for example, and I want to save as a jpeg. Whether I go to "save as" or through the "print" and then selecting "save as a pdf", it can beach ball for 8-10 seconds.
I thought it may have been a ram problem and from another thread I discovered the "activity monitor" and have that running constantly in the dock showing me "System Memory" and for the stuff I'm doing, it hardly ever gets close to half the pie chart.
As the thread title state, I accidentally clicked "Learn Spelling" on a misspelled word. How do I undo this action? Where is the user dictionary stored on the system (10.6.2)?
View 9 Replies View RelatedMy main user account went haywire at the weekend - dock disappearing and Finder cycling and rebooting every few seconds. I fixed those issues by trashing the dock and finder .plist files, and all appears to be well except...I cannot access the Applications folder without the Finder crashing. All other folders appear fine.- I can access the Applications folder using another user- I can access the apps themselves from spotlight- I tried trashing .DS_Store - no difference.

Could I tie it in with a back-end database for websites? Should I use it to manage clients? I've read reviews and looked at the website, but they all focus on the improvements from the last version rather than what it should/can actually be used for!

Info:MacBookPro, Mac OS X (10.7.3)
My iMac OS 10.6.4 recently had a drive failure and I had to re-install my apps. Since then I cannot print from my Filemaker files (ver. 8.5 and 9.0). The print dialog window appears but the normal looking Print button does nothing. To print I have to click the Preview button which works fine, and then print from Preview. Most of my printing is done through scriptsall of which fail to print at that point, but I've tried printing a single record using the Menu command and have the same hang up. I re-installed from the CD but it did not fix the problem.
View 6 Replies View Relatedi work for a small digital printing company and we are looking for a way to incoroporate the use of a schedule like app that would let us manipulate job tickets in a calendar app like ical with filemaker pro 10.
thought explained:
1. within filemaker pro 10 we would create a job ticket with all the needed information (name of print file, quantity, size, due date etc.)
2. within this job ticket we would estimate how much time it would take to complete the project (ex. 1 hour.)
3. then automatigically a 1hour reserved time slot would be taken in ical on the desired day.
4. our production manager would then move around the reserved time slots at will to complete the jobs for the due dates.
IS THIS POSSIBLE TO ACCOMPLISH?
if so, does anyone know of a file maker plugin or any other app that can do this?
Which of those two database programs is more similar to Microsoft Access?

Files open normally in all accounts except 1 account where Filemaker crashes upon program startup. Same exact files opens fine in 1 account, crashes program in the other. Deleted prefs, plist, etc.Â
Program works fine in all accounts except the one. Same files that open in most accounts, these same exact files crash Filemaker when I try to open in just one account on the computer.Â
Intel iMac running Snow Leopard, 10.6.8. Craziest thing I ever did see!
I need to have the built in camera of an IMac take a photograph and insert it into a field in Filemaker Pro without user interaction. It would hopefully be used for staff attendance, and track who is changing records. I have no experience with applescript, but I think it might be the way to get the task done.

What is the easiest way to 1) show the current record number and 2) show how many records are in the current found set? This is the same info that is in the Status Toolbar. I want to hide this tool bar but the user still needs to know this info.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have an important database created on my Mac using an old version of Filemaker II. (Version 1.1v2 1989) Since I have gone to OSX, the old program will not work on my newer Intel Mac. I am trying to find out how to convert the old files to a newer version of FileMaker that will allow me to read and add to the file.
I have a version 6.0 and 9.0 of Filemaker Pro, but neither will allow me to read the old database. Might have to step up from version to version and convert. We are at wits end and desperately need some expert help! Can anyone tell me how to do this. Files are a listing of 20+ years of articles and photos connected with a small magazine my wife and I publish.
I run a small architecture firm and I'm in need of a database program to track projects, clients, and employees.
I'd like the ability to create project reports that illustrate how much time and money is spent on all aspects of a project (predesign, site analysis, schematic, etc.), reimbursables, direct expenses, etc.
I'd also like to break that down further to what individual employees have worked on. On individual projects as well as all projects worked on.
Is this something that can be done in Bento or is Filemaker needed? Some have recommended Access but I would prefer to stay on the Mac side for this information.
i have been trying to install filemaker server connector which needs root access. i enabled root user and logged into it for the install but the installer still asks to login as root.

I've been using Filemaker for years, but I've never had a need for anything too complicated - until now. I am in the midst of designing a vote database. I am hoping to find a way to have a choice made from a drop down menu that would define the text fields. I need this to be accurate as possible.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have noticed that the ability to send an email from outside Mail via one of the several applications that has the capability has disappeared. Whenever I try to send a message I get an error message from the app. For example in Filemaker I get "Some of the files that are needed are either damaged or have not been installed. run the installer to correct this problem." In Acrobat I get "The SendMail doesn't know how to talk to your default mail client. select a different mail application to use." In MS Word the menu selection is dimmed out. From Pages however it works fine.
