Ok, so I finally got around to upgrading my home FMP 8.5 to v2
(upgraded work FMP when it came out & that's usually where I design).
Well, I had some time (for a change) and made a small DB at home.
Then I noticed I was still on v1 - so I downloaded and upgraded to v2.

I opened up the DB I had just made and it was huge! Fields near the
left edge, were now off the screen. No biggie, I'll set the zoom back
to 100%... oh, wait, it's already at 100%??? Weird. So I set the
zoom at 75%, and it appears to look like it did pre-upgrade at 100%.

However, when I print, it prints the left edge fields off the paper -
obviously printing at 100%. Ideas on why it did this? Thanks.

I'm afraid I can't help you with the "why", but I can tell you that
FileMaker's display system has been a little flakey for a while.

I create databases on my old Mac OS 9 computer and I set the window
size to nicely fit the content ... BUT when I move that same database
over to a Mac OS X computer (the same version of FileMaker) I end up
with a large gap at the bottom of the window, far too big to be an
issue with differing scrollbar widths. It's easy enough to fix by
resetting the window's size, but it's annoying and would look
unprofessional if I was giving the databases to someone else rather
than installing them myself. (

Then of course there are niggling issues with the Preview display too.

Yup, but I have never had this happen before. It's not really a big
deal, I just moved everything over a bit and added a Set Zoom to my
opening script. I'm going to think of it as a "feature", then try to
forget all of the other bug...er...um... features.

But seriously, FMP is a pleasure to work with compared to using SQL,
Visual Studio & .NET Framework - of which I am starting to deal with
at work. I guess each has it's good & bad sides, but the Microsoft
development side has far less good sides - well... that it's willing
to show me anyway. 8^)
