This post aims to demonstrate the relative ease and speed of working with Claris FileMaker Pro, by providing a step-by-step guide to create a simple data management tool.
Problems with FileMaker Pro’s export command and some workarounds
FileMaker Pro's export command and its script step do what they must do with plenty of options (CSV, tab-text, xlsx, FMP, xml and more; and many possible encodings for both Mac and Windows). However, on the programability and user experience side, one could wish for more. But for some of these problems workarounds are possible.
