I am coming to the end of maintenance. My client wanted two features which

moving my changes to a live system was pain enough. I would have to convert the
entire system before my client could start using it again.
I thought that fixing this system would be straightforward because the FMP
language is rather simple in concept but so simple that doing anything became
very painful. For example, I did a cross-tab feature from scratch. Most
commercial systems already have a cross-tab built-in and they are easy to use.
Mine worked well but it is not generic and I doubt anyone could figure it out
if any changes are needed.
I find it difficult to keep straight which table carries which script and
have to fuss when passing globals back and forth. This is a highly error prone
technique and should not even exist.
Nicholas, you sound like a walking advertisement for Database Design Report.
Does that feature even exist in your version of FMP?
