Quick Tip:
|
Searching Higher ASCII
If you look at the storage options for a field in Manage Database, and you see that it is set to a particular language, you may not think much about what it can do for you. Try changing the language to Unicode. This will make FileMaker index include upper ASCII characters, so you can search for values without enclosing them in quotes. For example, you will be able to search for an email address by including the at sign (@). |

Dull Boy
FileMaker files were stored in clear text prior to FileMaker 7 so, if you opened a FileMaker file in a text editor, you could see the phrase "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" in the header repeated over and over. No, it's not a virus! My understanding is the developers just needed to take up some space in the header and that's what they came up with. Today, modern FileMaker files are stored in Unicode so I'm not sure if the phrase is still there. |
