Ask FileMaker: 12-02-2008, 10:22 AM how can I have the cursor start in a specific field in the header as default when using find mode?  The cursor goes to the first field in the Body, even though the tab order starts with the Field in the Header, for which entry in find mode is allowed.

Ask FileMaker how to keep the database footprint small, by using the Same Field in different Tables, instead of creating new Fields with identical names?  For example, Date Entered (or Drawn) could be the same in Ingredients_Table as in Formulations_Table – unless it will disturb the sorting or other functions?

Ask FileMaker which option is better: To place the Unique_ID Filed in the Destination Table, with the data coming from the Source Table - so that the Unique_ID appears on the Destination Table, using a Relationship, or to create a new Field also called Unique_ID in the Destination Table, but then the Record will only become a Related Record when it is populated with an ID that matches the contents of a Unique_ID Record in the Source Table?

Ask FileMaker if it is possible to have Conditional Tabbing, based on the contents of the Clipboard: If I copied text that contains the ‘@’ symbol, then when I press the Tab key it should go to the eMail address Field.  Likewise if the Clipboard contains digits (numbers, figures) it should jump to the Telephone Number Field next, instead of going to the regular Next Tabbed Field.

Ask FileMaker how to arrange the Focus to be in the Field that has the text being searched, when pressing the Ctrl+R Key Combination to change the search string.

How to deal with a situation, where a user changed the wrong record?  Roll back to previous backed up version?  This would mean losing all the new (and CORRECT!) data that was added in the interim.

Ask FileMaker to introduce the feature of sub-Folders in the Manage Database Combox, like they have done in the Layouts Combox: it allows the grouping of similar type (or similar Function) Layouts into a Folder that can be expanded or closed to hide the many Layouts.
