I like the save as pdf option in v8.5, but the images are hugely

...the text editor options are very light weight.

does anybody know how to make the currently selected record in a list
view stand out more in Filemaker 6? The black vertical bar to the left
is a little hard to follow sometimes. It would be good to show the
whole selected line as dark grey or something. Thanks, Mark.

heavily compressed jpeg)

I have a seperated text file  with over 64,000 lines. When I open the
file with Filemaker 8.0 I have only about < 33,000 records. I have
tried opening text files from type of programs but it's not accurate. I
open the file in Excel than import it into Filemaker. Does anyone have

I've done 6 fairly large [40 to 120 db] conversions of solution from
FMP5 to FMP 8 and often get reports of this error - "This record cannot
be modified in this window because it is already being modified in a
different window".  Didn't happen before but does happen afterwards.

Running ver 8.0 on Win XP Pro.  (Also have FMP 8 Advanced)
I want to set up a user, and give him the same privileges for many
different files.  Can I set up a script to do this? Would each of the
files have to be open first ?  If a script won't work, what's the

I have built a CRM system using Owen and Scotts directories in which we
have identified 25,000 companies.  In the course of working with these
records (telemarketing, email marketing, contacts, quoting, etc)
records do change by the addition of absent information or corrected

Ok, I am going nuts trying to figure this out and I know it can be
done. I will try to explain this as best possible. Note that I am using
version 5.5, if that matters.
I have a database with multiple dates used to keep track of a merit
