Just a note about the Perform Script with Callback. It is asynchronous (independent executions). So the remainder of steps should execute until after the server side script is finished, whereupon the Callback script is then executed after the server side script completes.

WHY WHY WHY do I only have "File" "Edit" "Tools" (I turned that one on) and "Help"!!!
I've searched everywhere and there is no mention of how to get the other menu options (specifically "Scripts") ... Help!

Thanks for your video on FM2023.

Could you PLEASE make a video on how to send html emails from FM?

Hi @FileMakerMagazine, I have a question: What is different between 2 options below:
1. Perform Script on Server [Wait for completion: On ] ----> Perform Script [ Get(ScriptResult) ]
2. Perform Script on Server with Callback [ Callback script-Parameter: Get(ScriptResult) ]

It is better to use Microsoft Access if you are a window user. Also it is better to use Libreoffice Base if you are a Mac user. FileMaker's price policy is crazy.

Thanks Matt.... I hope WebDirect shooting Blank screen has been also fixed with this

Wait, regarding your demo of OnWindowTransaction, I thought the purpose of your "auditLog" field was to serve as a holding field that captures ANY field that was just modified within that table. But your example is hardwired to a single field named "field" and can't track any random field that's modified. In that case we can just apply an OnObjectModify script trigger to that specific field named "field". 

Obviously after you commit the value (ie, click out of the field into another field) the calculation field "auditLog" loses the name and value of the field we want to log (if we define that field's value as Get(ActiveFieldName) and

So how do we capture the value of ANY field that we just previously modified but is no longer the active field?

How is the "Filemaker_BaseTables (sql)" used in Filemaker? I saw that you said the parenthesis were a mistake but how do you use that functionality?

Unfortunally the (confirmed) Kiosk mode bug that I reported month ago still exists in FM20 🙁

What an annoyingly long way to present so little information.
