When I am reviewing a specific to-do, from the to-do list, and I select a due date, the Window will flash. Why is this?

We had to use a script trigger. When the due date is modified, it selects the to-do list window, and causes a refresh to occur. We did this becuase FileMaker 10’s new sticky sort capability would frequently re-sort the new to-do item off the visible list (above or below), and would confuse the user when the to-do pop up is closed.

In the FileMaker 10 Starter Solutions, there is frequent use of “Type Ahead” aka Clairvoyance. Why is this missing from FM Starting Point?

Normally, we added functionality to the system, but not in this case. Type Ahead causes a performance drain that is very noticeable for medium sized data sets, when accessed over a Wide Area network or Internet connection. We expect a fair number of people to access FMSP, hosted at their offices, or at a Hosting company, and then accessing the database remotely. These people would be highly disappointed by the huge slow down of FileMaker when using “Type Ahead” features. So to prevent nasty phone calls and flaming emails, we dropped this capability out of FMSP. If you run FMSP as a single user, on your local computer, feel free to turn “Type Ahead” back on.
