Please bear with me if this is a hopelessly naive question. I've owned an iPad
for 3 days now and have been fiddling with an existing database for 2 days, and
today's the day I got to try moving it off of my Mac and onto the iPad. The
documentation suggested that I close the file and e-mail it to myself. I did
that, and the e-mail duly arrived on my iPad, I pressed the download icon, and
the progress bar dutifully reported that all 8.0 MB had been downloaded. So now
I go to my desktop and try to find the file. Nada. I fire up FileMaker Go and
look for a File > Open command. Nada. The "Working with Files" section of the
help screen says "Tap the filename in the Files on Device list." I go there and
see the stock FMI-supplied starter solutions: Assets, Contacts, Content
Management, Getting Started, and Tasks. My own file? Nowhere to be seen.
Where is it? Where did it go? How can I get at it?
For 2 companies normally as user-friendly as Apple and FileMaker, this is a
hugely user-hostile experience.
