9.1   Copy a layout from one database to another
 
 It is not possible to copy complete layouts between databases. However,
 it is possible to copy any picture information, fields and buttons to
 other databases.
 Open Layout mode, select, copy, go to other database, paste.
 Fields will be copied only if a field with identical names is already
 defined in both databases.
 The link of scripts to buttons will be copied only if there is a script
 with identical names in both databases.
   
9.2   Modify layout objects
 
 First a tip to select all objects of a certain type:
 In layout mode you can select objects by type. First select one object
 of the type you want, for example, click on a field. Then press
 Command-Option-A to select ALL the fields on your layout.
 (from FMUG at MIT)
 Now some other tips:
 (1) While in layout mode you can hit the ENTER key and the tool palette
 will toggle between the arrow tool and the last chosen object tool.
 (2) Using the DUPLICATE command will offset the duplicated object by 6
 pixels to the right and 6 pixels down. Using the ARROW keys you can type
 7 left and 7 up to create a highlight or offset of the original object.
 (3) Using the OPTION key on Mac or the ALT key on the PC will allow you
 to drag copy a selection. Hold the SHIFT and OPTION or ALT keys and it
 will constrain the copy while you drag.
 (4) Locking your background objects will allow you to drag select your
 foreground objects.
 (5) Once a button is created, simply duplicate it and double click to
 assign it another function. You don't have to go to the Define Button...
 menu item.
 (from Matt Petrowsky and its FMPro online user magazine / ISO)
   
9.3   Copy a record or list of records to other applications
 
 * If no field is selected, the copy command will copy the current record
 to the clipboard. The clipboard includes all fields, in order of
 creation, as tab-delimited text without styles.
 If you press option while doing this, all selected records will be
 copied.
 * Open Preview and Copy.
 The records are copied to a PICT as they are displayed on the screen.
 They can be pasted to and modified by other drawing tools.
 * To copy text info only, see Print2Pict.
   
9.4   Export / Import
 
 FMP supports multiple export and import formats for databases as
 described in section 8 of the User's Guide.
 Some aspects should be pointed out:
 * Most export and import formats use the <Carriage Return> (ASCII-13) as
 a record separator.
 For that reason the returns within text fields get translated to
 "vertical tabs" (ASCII-11).
 Macs use <Carriage Return> as EndOfLine delimiter, while Unix takes
 <Line Feed> (ASCII-10) and DOS takes both. This might confuse imports
 and should be fixed before.
 * Repeating fields are separated by <ASCII-29>. The export formats
 "Tab-separated Text" and "Mail Merge" support repeating fields
 Check the section on repeating fields for details. There's an export and
 import option to split repeating fields.
 * Take care of various limitations:
 FMP supports text fields up to 32K characters, while BASIC, SYLK and DBF
 use 255 or less characters.
 Some special characters have to be translated when they are used as
 field delimiters, e.g. quotation marks to double quotation marks.
 There is no export format for pictures and sounds. Only the import from
 one FMP database to another FMP database is possible.
 * Various applications use output formats that may be imported by FMP
 easily, while others have to be converted.
 Many common text editors may get used to replace one type of delimiter
 by another one, e.g. <quotation mark><colon><quotation mark> by <tab>.
 Alpha allows to highlight, copy and paste text by columns.
 Add/Strip allows to convert fixed width field formats by inserting
 delimiters and deleting noise characters.
 * Finally, you may use import to reorder your records.
 Create a clone of your database "old", select all (if you wanted all),
 sort, open the "clone of old", import from "old". Backup (or delete)
 "old" and rename the clone to "old".
   
9.5   Export formatted text / RTF
 
 Formatted text may get exchanged between applications by the usual
 copy/paste.
 On export any text format information is lost - only plain text will be
 available. A mail merge export may get used for mail merge capable
 applications to re-assign formats on complete fields.
 In order to export formatted text, some additional steps are required.
 The idea is to add the special formatting options by calculations of a
 suitable format, such as RTF or HTML, and to use an application that may
 handle this coding.
 RTF (Rich Text Format) is the internal representation used on Macintosh
 to exchange formatted text between applications. You may see a sample of
 RTF coding if you save a document in RTF format from a suitable
 application. The RTF codes below were collected in this manner by
 j.f.robertson@newcastle.ac.uk (Forbes Robertson).
 A proper RTF document consists of a header and special codes around the
 text to format.
 RTF codes
 =========
   bold      \b
   italic    \i
   underline \ul
   return    \par
 Curly brackets are the way of splitting RTF codes from the actual text
 that is plain ASCII. The above can be combined e.g. {\b \i sample text}
 to give bold italic "sample text".
 Font changes are a little different, composed from corresponding font
 numbers in the header.
   Fonts     \f<n>   -- font number <n> of header
 Example:
   {\f3 text \par}
 To set different font sizes the same layout as fonts is used. But
 instead of \f<n> the code is \fs<n> were n is twice the size of the font
 you wish to use.
 Example for font size 10:
   {\fs20 text \par}
 If you need to use the characters { } or \ precede them with a \.
 RTF header
 ==========
 It seems that the minimum header is
   {\rtf1\mac\
 A matching final } closes the document as footer.
 The following information is part of the header as well:
 There is a list of fonts with numbers eg
     {\fonttbl{\f0\fswiss Chicago;} etc }
 Then a list of colours eg
     {\colortbl\red0\green0\blue0; etc }
 Then a stylesheet. This part has several variables some of which are
 obvious, while others may be word processor dependant as well
     {\stylesheet{\s242 \f16 \sbasedon0\snext0 page number;}
     {\f16 \sbasedon222\snext0 Normal;}}
 Then details on the paper size and margins, eg:
     \paperw11880\paperh16800\margl2016\margr1440\widowctrl\
     enddoc\pgnstart5\fracwidth\sectd\sbknone\pgnx720\pgny15030
     \linemod0\linex0\cols1\endnhere
 In conclusion you need a header consisting of a lot of font info. The
 best way to get this is to save a file in your word processor as RTF
 then view the file without conversion.
 Export
 ======
 You may include the RTF codes by ordinary calculations.
 Example:  RTF Text (text calculation) =
   "{{\b " & [Name] & "}, " & [First Name] &
   "\par} {email: ""{\f0 \fs20" & [email] & """\par}"
 It's recommended to export this as tab delimited text, with only the
 calculated RTF field per record.
 You may put in the header and footer info while you use a separate
 record for each and ensure that they sort first and last in the sort
 order.
 Also can you get FM to save the exported text file with the correct
 creator codes so that double clicking it opens it in your word
 processor. This is possible to do using programs like Filebuddy etc.
 Print to file
 =============
 You may create a special layout where you place the proper RTF or HTML
 code around the fields, create proper header and footer parts and print
 this layout to a file.
 Example:
 [header part]
 {\rtf1\mac\
 [body/list]
 {{\b[name]}, [first name]\par}
 {email:" {\f0\fs20[email]"\par }
 [footer part]
 }
 The [fields] and text objects may get defined as sliding to the left.
 FMP3 permits improved text merge options for the same purpose.
   
9.6   Access Files Remotely
 
 Date:         Thu, 18 Apr 1996 20:56:06 +1000
 From: Graham Nicholson <grahamn@VISION.NET.AU>
 Subject:      Re: Update from a remote source
 Something about accessing files remotely.  I am note sure if it was for
 maintenance only or if you wanted to use concurrently both on site and
 away.  If for maintenance or on line access only then...
 OK, I do this to remote access a site that is under my control.
 I offer you three solutions
 1) Carbon Copy
 2) Timbuktu
 3) Windows 95
 4) FMPro3 WWW Access
 1) Carbon Copy
 I use carbon copy for windows and have essentialy control of the login
 computer.  The database is running on the dial in which is both good and
 bad, good speed wise because only screen redraws are passed machine to
 machine not actual data (which ARA does).  The speed is not great but
 they have PC 386/40 which is bottom end for FMPro anyway, using 14.4
 modems. I think with a fast machine/modem it should be quite acceptable.
 Setup was a breeze, just install the remote software on each machine and
 choose the modem type.
 Pros - Speed of link is good.  If the machine you log onto is networked
 then you also have access to the network.
 Cons - No cross platform capability (Windoze only (3.1 or Win 95)
 2) Timbuktu
 This has always been a very *cool* piece of software that allowed
 control over appletalk and also dial in.  Recently Timbuktu has been
 updated to include also a Windows equivalent.  There is an immediate
 *Huge* advantage, you can control a Mac from a PC and also a PC From a
 Mac (also PC-PC and Mac-Mac of course) so now if you need to access a
 clients site which is PC based you can log on with your Mac :-)  As with
 Carbon Copy only screen data is passed on so speed of the link is not a
 vital ingredient.  Fairly processor intensive on both sides though, same
 as Carbon Copy
 Pros - Speed of link is good.  If the machine you log onto is networked
 then you also have access to the network.  Cross Platform capability, oh
 securtiy measures are good also
 Cons - None spring to mind but I am sure there are some
 3) Win 95
 I believe that Win 95 (or Microsoft Plus anyway) has a type of ARA built
 in and have seen it in action.  No idea about performance speeds,
 remember that you are now accessing a network not just screen data so
 having it open on a machine on the network and logging on as a guest
 would give better speeds than accessing the file off a server as a
 shared file (I think, not too sure how FMPro handles this)
 Pros - Built into OS so should be widely supported (Win 95)
 Cons - I have not used the system, not even sure if FMPro would work
 using this should in theory
 4) WWW access.
 If both are using FMPro 3 then it is possible for the "host" to have a
 permanent internet connection and the dialup to access it as if it were
 local talk (nearly, not quite as fast)

Subject:10  Useful Tools
   
10.0   Useful tools
 
 This section is still at work. Please join your experience.
 Most of the recommended tools are available at the usual umich and
 info-mac sites and its mirrors. If you want any special tool included in
 this list, please provide the appropriate information. I reserve to
 include only tools that I consider as useful.
   
10.1   Print2Pict
 
 Print2Pict is a chooser extension. Instead of printing to a real device,
 the output is directed to a file. Different file formats are available.
 The most important are TEXT and PICT.
 URL: <ftp:/umich-mac/system.extensions/chooser/print2pict3.6.cpt.hqx>
   
10.2   Acid Jazz etc.
 
 tools for fax, phone calls, etc.
 URL: under construction
   
10.3   BBEdit Lite
 
 Freeware text editor; powerful find / replace, suitable for handling
 repeating fields (ASCII-29 dilemma)
 URL:
 <ftp://ftp.barebones.com/pub/freeware/>
 <http://www.barebones.com/freeware.html>
 <ftp://info-mac/text/bbe/>
 It's very handy to edit calculation fields within, and to move to FMP by
 Copy/Paste:
 "Starting with BBEdit 3.0, BBEdit Lite 3.5 there is soft wrap
 capability. This makes convenient editing of FMPR calc fields possible.
 Calc fields are TEXT, and can be copied and pasted into. Copying to a
 tmp BBEdit file makes powerful editing of formulae possible, useful once
 you have formulae longer than the minuscule scroll window of FMPR.
 Application: US versions use ,'s as separators, eg If(,,), some
 localized versions may use ;'s, eg If(;;), depending on the installed
 system. This makes copying of formulae from templates tedious. Compiled
 formulae will run between versions, any change in a formulae caused
 recompilation and all ,'s must be changed to;'s. BBEdit does it for you,
 without errors, but you have to rescue bona fide ,'s occurring between
 "".
 Note: FMPR calc fields use Apple's text engine, and are thereby limited
 to 32K."
 (from jjl@knoware.nl (J. J. Lodder))
   
10.4   Ram Disk
 
 Use a Ram Disk for import / export - it might be much faster.
 URL: under construction
   
10.5   Send Mail from within FMP
 
 You may send EMail directly from within FMP via TCP/IP by AppleScript
 commands.
 You will need e.g. the "TCP/IP scripting additions" osax. Its script
 "emailer" will show a possible example.
 <ftp://nic.switch.ch//mirror/umich-mac/util/script/
 .cpt.hqx>
 As another approach you may create outgoing messages in other,
 scriptable mail applications. The template release of these FAQs,
 faq.fm, contains a send mail button to do this via the included script
 Eudora2FMP
   
10.6   Dump Mail to FMP
 
 * Direct approach
 FMP may download mail directly via TCP-IP connections. Marionet is a
 commercial TCP tool suited for that purpose.
 The AppleScript "TCP/IP scripting additions" may be suited for that
 purpose as well.
 <ftp://nic.switch.ch//mirror/umich-mac/util/script/
 .cpt.hqx>
 * Special Applications:
 MailProcessor converts mailbox files to tab-delimited text that may get
 imported into FMP. IMO the version I tried was slow, noninuitive and of
 poor performance.
 MailConverter by  R Shapiro <rshapiro@BBN.COM> is an excellent tool for
 converting mailbox formats, but doesn't include a database format.
 However, R Shapiro might develop yet another tool for that special task.
 I suppose this would be the premium choice.
 * MacPerl
 MacPerl was recommended to write a scriptable conversion utility. It's
 very powerful on text operations.
 Bob Dalgleish developped a  MacPerl script that does an excellent and
 fast job. Check on <http://www.sasknet.com/~dalgl/> for 'mailbox to
 tsv'. It's still under construction, but already to recommend. It
 requires MacPerl 5 (<ftp://ftp.switch.ch//software/mac/perl/>).
 * AppleScript
 Stefan Schütt (stefan@mouseup.pp.fi) wrote the consequent AppleScript:
 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
   tell application "Eudora 1.5.1"
         set many to (get number of message of mailbox 1)
         -- (comment from the Author: mailbox 1 is the In box)
   end tell
   repeat with i from 1 to many
         tell application "Eudora 1.5.1"
                 set day to word 3 of (get date of message i of mailbox1)
                 --this will get only the short date of the message.
                 set send to (get sender of message i of mailbox 1)
                 set sub to (get subject of message i of mailbox 1)
                 set bod to (get body of message i of mailbox 1)
                 --delete message i of mailbox 1 -- This one is optional
         end tell
         set lista to {day} & {send} & {sub} & {bod}
         tell application "FileMaker Pro SDK"
                 Create Record With Data lista
         end tell
   end repeat
   In the FMPRO database you need the following fields: Date, Sender,
   Subject and Body. To be sure it will succeed, I think you should
 create
   the fields in this order. If your database for Eudora mails is the
   frontmost window in FMPRO when you launch the script, then you don't
   have to specify the name of the database.
   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 An improved version is included as Eudora2FMP with the FileMaker Pro
 FAQs. Its major drawback: AppleScript is slow. On an LC II import is
 about 100 messages per hour, twice the time of the import itself. The
 import to FMP 2.1 is so slow  due to extensive indexing of lenghty
 message bodies; FMP3 can do much faster without.
 <ftp://ftp.th-darmstadt.de//pub/database/filemaker-pro/faq.fm.sit.hqx>
 Bob Cusick <clickware@aol.com> composed another set of templates
 <ftp://ftp.fogcity.com/pub/Emailer/Utilities/>. They
 contain an AppleScript to import from EMailer (� by Claris). They are an
 example for most polished FMP 2.1 layouts - give it a try. FM Mailer is
 freeware and unlocked. Bob Cusick announced to work on a new FMP3.0
 version with improved features and direct import capability.
 * HyperCard
 "ETD� (Eudora To Database) is a great utility that allows you to read a
 Eudora® mailbox, and create a file that is suitable for importing into a
 database or spreadsheet (tab-delimited field, return-delimited record
 format).  I have included a template for use with FileMaker Pro®.
 Registered users (Shareware - $5.00 [US Funds]) can get support at
 jacobson@phoenix.net."
 (from Doug Jacobson <jacobson@phoenix.net>)
 <http://www.phoenix.net/~jacobson>
   
10.7   Fax from FMP
 
 * see Acid Jazz
 * FaxExpress (fax software) from Glenwarne Ltd.
 * FileFax allows for a clean and easy connection between FileMaker and
 FaxStf , they have a demo version, the full version costs 100US$
 <http://www.Xon-Xoff.com/web/FileFax.html>
 An automatic mail answer is also available, FileFax@Xon-Xoff.com, to
 receive an email documentation. No specific syntax required.
 * FaxStf
 * use Quickeys to change to a fax driver, and do a print command
 * 4-Sight, LC has a network Fax solution that is now AppleScriptable...
 It also includes some sample scripts that work with FM Pro.
 515-221-3012 - Kevin Clark is a very helpful sales rep.
 * Prefab Player (scriptable)
 http://www.tiac.net/prefab/ , Scott Lawton <ssl@prefab.com>
 * MacComCenter from Smith Micro Software Inc., 31 Columbia, Aliso Viejo,
 CA 92656 (maybe slow, but works with AT&T Paradyne DataPort 14.4 modem)
 * Windows: FileMaker is not capable of selecting a printer.
 You will probably need to use WinBatch to do that (& any usual Fax
 software)

10.9   ROFM CGI
 
 "ROFM CGI (Russell Owens FileMaker CGI) is an application that allows
 you to serve FileMaker Pro databases to the World Wide Web (WWW). It is
 easy to set up and use. It runs on Macintosh computers (only), and
 requires WebSTAR or MacHTTP, Filemaker Pro 2.1v3 and AppleScript 1.1
 (which comes with system 7.5). To email notification of new records, you
 will also need Eudora 1.5 (free) or 2.1 (commercial)." (From Russell
 Owen's FileMaker CGI introduction)
 The home site of ROFM CGI is http://rowen.astro.washington.edu/.
 General-purpose subroutines for adding records and searching databases
 are available as a compiled script (with included source code) called
 "ROFMUtil". This script is included in the ROFM CGI package, which is
 available from <http://rowen.astro.washington.edu>. The subroutines are
 fairly well optimized, and require Wayne Walrath's ACME Script Widgets.
   
10.10  GTQ library
 
 >Does anyone know if FMP3 has the capability of scripting your printer
 choice?
 There is a OSAX called "Set Printer to" as part of the GTQ Scripting
 Library v1.2 that does this. You need AppleScript and the OSAX
 installed. Here is the OSAX library:
 set printer to: chooses the specified device type
         set printer to  string  -- device type name
                 [named  string]  -- name of device
                 [using  printer port/modem port]  -- which serial port
 to use
                  (valid for serial devices only)
                 [zone  string]  -- zone where device is
 it works fine with my serial StyleWriter,
 set printer to "StyleWriter 1200" using modem port
 find it at info-mac
