Sad to see you are not still making videos. Your beginner scripting videos are excellent - nowhere else could I find the most basic of beginner scripting tutorials/videos. Wish you had more, but thx for these!

There are so many FM videos out there that are so so and take a lot of time to go through without getting much out of them. Yours are well defined, explained and beneficial. Hope you continue to teach us.

It's 2022 - and this is probably the finest example I've come across. Good work man :)

After watching other tutorials that try to teach the same subject matter as this video, I can say this is the best tutorial—by far. Thank you!

Thank you, Sunny! Three springs ago I migrated a database that was running on Microsoft Access to FM. That was the first time for me to get it right. And I realized that FM is far better intuitive, user friendly and developer friendly like me with little knowledge. The database has been running very well and so far only few things to be fixed. But there are still some issues to be solved. Your tutorials on the web are all practical and useful. So far I installed couple of your scripts to automate the processes such as to send email with PDFs by one click. The biggest issue I have now is to resolve "Filemaker cannot share files because another user is already sharing...." thing. Please help me out, Sunny!

Hi Sunny, great tutorial!
It would be interesting to post a message when there are no results that match the search ;). A little exercise in addition to your tutorial.
Thanks

so happy I could find such useful course, though it's 18 version. In China it's teacher's day, Happy Teachers' Day

Hey Sunny, this is a fantastic tutorial. I learnt more about scripting as a novice than I ever expected. Especially about making sure your syntax is correct! Thankyou!!!

How can I use programming for a table with historical data such as a hotel with 14 floors and each floor containing 22 rooms? For example, the room numbers for the first floor are 101-122 and for the second floor 201-222. Create portals for the full rooms and the empty rooms.
