Nathan Rosentha #1 / 9	Calendar Hello all I am a headhunter and have set up activity files in FM5. I would like to have an active calendar linked to the file, meaning when I want to plan some thing for a future date, I click on that particular date field and the calendar pops up. Then I click on the date and it fills into the field. If anyone is familiar with Quicken, you'll know what I mean. I would also like to be able to bring the calendar up and have it show me, what is scheduled when. Please advise Nate Rosenthal Pioneer Placement

Claude Carlo #3 / 9	Calendar If your using a Windows version of Fm5, have a look at Fmtools http://www.apjuk.com/fmtools.htm Quote: > Hello all > I am a headhunter and have set up activity files in FM5.

Bridget El #5 / 9	Calendar Calendar solutions can be quite complex, but a lot of that complexity is due to the finer points of the calendar solution rather than to its basics. There are a couple of good "pop-up"calendar solution around but these basically provide a means of quickly and accurately entering the date in a date field. Regardless of the method you use to input the desired date into a date field, the real work is done by a self join relationship based on global date field (left) and date field (right), and the Go to Related Record script step. Remember to check "Show only related records". -- Bridget Eley Quote: > Hello all > I am a headhunter and have set up activity files in FM5.

Jame #6 / 9	Calendar Hi Nathan - There are several ways to design solutions in FMPro that will handle the scheduling of events in a logical, easy and flexible way. Which is best suited depends on the kinds of information you want to associate with the events you schedule and the reporting formats you want to use. However, if you approach the task with a preconceived notion of what it should look like, based on the row-and-column views used by many personal information management applications, you will probably be disappointed. Making a traditional-looking Roman calendar in FMPro (or any database application) is a complex job. I recommend that you take a hard look at your needs and perhaps revise your expectations. With that said, I would also like to offer some encouragement. There are at least two good plug-ins that offer the kind of pop-up calendar picker you specifically mention. They can be found through FM's website, and also through a good list of plug-ins maintained by The Database Interest Group for FileMaker at http://www.digfm.org. At least one of the plug-ins is shareware. Also, I believe those sources, and help from google, may lead you to some FMPro templates for the Roman calendar model. What their functionality is, I couldn't say. Hope these suggestions are helpful. Best of Luck - James Quote: > Hello all > I am a headhunter and have set up activity files in FM5.

Barry Brow #7 / 9	Calendar Quote: > Making a traditional-looking Roman calendar > in FMPro (or any database application) is a complex job. The only way I've found to create a calendar in FMPro ends up with a Roman version only viewable in the Preview mode. This is fine for my app which requires printing out a hard copy for posting or distribution. Question: Are there any plug-ins available that will provide some user interface (buttons) in Preview to initiate scripts other than a menu selection. I'd like to be able to click on a day on the calendar display in Preview and immediately go to an editable screen for that day. On the other hand, maybe I've overlooked a way to display the calendar in Browse. At the moment, each day is a db record and I've set the layout to display 7 columns in a left to right sequence.

Jame #8 / 9	Calendar Hi again Barry - I know of no plug-in that will create buttons which can work in Preview Mode. I did read a little while ago in the group about a third-party scripting application that allows you to float a menu over the active window and choose functions from it, but my memory of it is very poor. Perhaps someone else will remember, or you may find it by searching the server. Concerning calendar models, I can send you one, if you wish, that uses a clever self-join technique I learned here in the group to make a very functional week view in five or seven columns which scroll each day's events and allow full detail on the event to be displayed with one click. As I said previously, there may be good models for Roman calendars out there but I have not used them.

bjmaskel #9 / 9	Calendar Try creating a control panel db which calls scripts in your preview mode db which is left in preview mode. The control db will require a looping script so that it will remain in the front of the db you are previewing. (so users cannot click on the previewing db and brings it to the front, then you are left in preview mode) You call scripts to show page down page up next page print etc whilst the script returns to the control db which continues to loop. Hope that helps -- Barry Maskell Quote: > Newsgroups: comp.databases.filemaker > Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 22:06:42 GMT > Subject: Re: Calendar > Hi again Barry - > I know of no plug-in that will create buttons which can work in Preview > Mode.
