31.Does FM Starting Point connect to iCal or Address book on a Mac?
FM Starting Point can connect to these other applications via the use of third party plug-ins. Unless you are a FileMaker “power user” then you might need to get some help from a FileMaker developer with this task.
32.Is there an instruction manual for FM Starting Point?
No. There are several instructional on screen help videos to help get users rolling in the new system. We are also commenting on the scripts and various features within the database template. FM Starting Point is design for new users so it is not too complex. Few people read the manuals anyway. They just hack their way through a product. However, if someone wants to write a manual, and then give it away to everyone, let us know and we’ll post it for you.
33.What are the different kinds of Email I can send from FM Starting Point?
Primarily, the email capabilities are within the "contacts" modules, where you can shoot off a myriad of different "canned" emails. These will be plain text emails, since that is what the new built in FileMaker 10 feature supports. Email may be sent through a users email client OR use the new “Direct Send” capability of FileMaker Pro 10.
34.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 because 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.
35.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.

40.Does FileMaker Work on the iPhone and iPad?
Yes! The product is called “FileMaker Go,” and can be installed on either the iPhone or iPad, after being purchased from the App Store. You need this software before you can use FM Starting Point on these devices. Once you have FM Go installed, you have the choice of accessing the database as shared from a FileMaker Server, or as shared from a single desktop with peer to peer sharing turned on.
