This demo has been developed to show how it is possible to provide a 'Multiple Undo' feature within FileMaker® Pro applications.

Click on the MacOS icon at right to download a Mac archive in Stuffit format, or on the Windows icon for a download in PKzip format. This demo is password free, so that you can pull it to bits and see what makes it 'tick'. The demo is simple, but the technique has many possible applications! As new entries are added, older ones are automatically discarded, so that the impact on storage is contained. It automatically stores a predetermined number of previous field values (in this case the current, plus the previous four entries are stored in the 'history' field). This file illustrates a technique which has numerous applications in ensuring the safety of data. A selection of current offerings is listed below:Ĭalculations, Logs and Extended Functionality Update: Skeleton Key has a good article on why you might select one bar code font over another.As a free service to fellow developers and potential clients, sampleĪnd demonstration files are periodically made available for downloadįrom this site. The cost to get started with it is to purchase a full cross platform developer license for $999. Troi, on their web site, state that they view the plugin as a specialized plugin and don’t sell single installation versions. The only downside of this approach is pricing.

He says “With the Troi serial plug-in you configure a script to run if data is received over the serial port, then your script handles what to do with that data.” Reader Jason Wood commented that he had had success using Troi’s Serial Plugin with a $26 USB to Serial cable from Cables to Go. Update : I posted a link about this blog post on the ‘FileMaker Pro Users/Developers’ Facebook page. Occasionally the system will beep, but unless the script enters another field during the execution, there should be no impact.Ĭonclusion: Hopefully this overview will help getting started with using barcodes in FileMaker Pro databases. While the script is running, the scanner can send another code to the computer, but it will be ignored until the script returns the cursor to the field. At the end of each processing, the script clears the field and then selects the field, in anticipation of the next scan. The script in PassTracker uses a global field for the barcode scan. That computer can be setup to always be in the right field and in the right mode, ready to execute any scripts setup to react to the barcode. If the project can justify it, the best possible solution is the purchase of a dedicated computer to receive the barcodes. This is where a dedicated computer for the barcode scanner can be useful. If the cursor is in the wrong field, gibberish will be entered into the wrong fields, potentially corrupting data. Imagine that fast typist banging away on the keyboard, if no field is selected, FileMaker Pro will simply beep for each keystroke sent. One way to visualize a barcode scanner is to imagine it as a very fast typist entering a code into the computer.

Create a calculated field that wraps your serial number field with a star at either end of the field and set it to use the barcode font for display purposes. Barcodes require a beginning and end character, usually the star character on your keyboard: ‘*’. This serial number field will be the basis of your barcode field. In the FileMaker Pro database, create a serial number field.

Install the font on the FileMaker Pro computer, (here are a couple of ‘how-to’s’ on installing fonts on Windows and Macintosh) so that it can be selected, in the same way that fonts such as Helvetica or Times, can be applied. Outbound – Sending Barcoded Items out into the World from FileMaker Pro

To employ Barcodes with a FileMaker Pro system, three or four things are required: No demo file this time, but hopefully the overview will get you started and through most of the major hurdles.

I was able to provide him with an overview of how to do this and thought it might be worth repeating for anyone wanting to get started with barcodes. I have setup a FileMaker Pro system called PassTracker that employs barcodes to keep track of membership activity at gyms.

I had a discussion recently from someone wanting to know how to setup FileMaker Pro with a barcode scanning system.
