I have been asked to publish my database on the web so that it can be used by our second, remote, office. The database is very complex and was not designed with web publishing in mind. I have made extensive use of 'Custom Dialogs' in the scripts. Custom Dialogs script steps are not web-compatible. To avoid them will involve a great deal of re-structuring of the database - which I want to avoid, particulalry if web-based publishing doesn't provide a satisfactory solution for the company. Does anyone out there know if there is a workaround for this problem? If so, asistance/advice would be most appreciated! |

FMP 7 has much better web publishing capabilities than earlier versions. Bill |

You can run these scripts by using "custom web publishing, and not IWP" if you have un-supported script steps, you may also want to check out the webtrigger plug-in that allows you to run un-supported script steps from the client version of FM7. WebTrigger is available at: www.fmplugin.com Easy custom web publishing is avaialble at: www.fxforge.net In Kindness Stephen Knight blag wrote: FMP 7v3 On Fri, 22 Jul 2005 19:53:09 GMT, Bill bbcollins (AT) invalid (DOT) earthlink.net> wrote: In article <qdc2e1pki848uhh6497fu7p89e0kvdn9ma (AT) 4ax (DOT) com>, blag <support (AT) plink (DOT) co.uk> wrote: I have been asked to publish my database on the web so that it can be used by our second, remote, office.
