Read Article > Try a free issue of FileMaker Advisor Magazine > Guest Trainer Spotlight Bulletproof Custom Dialogs By Jason Young, SolutionMakers The challenges facing FileMaker developers keep evolving as FileMaker continues to become more powerful with each new release. In my relatively short development career I now find myself developing solutions in what could be considered “Enterprise” environments. With new features in FileMaker 9 such as ESS this trend is certain to continue. However, the requirements of these solutions can be considerably more demanding than the small workgroups many of us grew up with. Detailed audit logs, transaction tables and even rollbacks are becoming standard features expected from a FileMaker solution. Fortunately, with tools like script-managed windows, script parameters and results; developers can create custom dialogs for controlling and capturing users’ interactions.
