FileMaker To Servoy: A Step-By-Step Tutorial

Sorry - my bad.

It should be 03. I was going to do all the steps, but then I didn't.

Hey, it's FREE...

I was surprised to find that this was published so long ago. As a newcomer to Servoy I am finding this very helpful.

I have a question about the method "list_similars" on p64. The last line of the Find is: forms.list_similars.contact_id != contactId. I assumed that this was to exclude or omit the current contact from the list. It doesn't and as far as I can see it doesn't do anything. What is the purpose of this statement?

I changed it to: forms.list_similars.contact_id = '!' + contactId. This does omit the current record.

Hi Ralph,

Yeah, the syntax has changed since I wrote that paper.

One of these days, I should really re-visit it and clean it up... but the first version took over 450 hours... so I'm not really keen on doing it all over again...

Hi Bob,

Thanks for the reply. 450 hours well spent. I found it very useful.
