FREE VIDEO
Even the most simple of objectives can often be optimized. It's the fun of making code smaller, more readable, more efficient that drives the developer spirit. Even if you don't consider yourself a developer, the lessons in this video will help guide your decisions when implementing features into your database.
This video showcases the breakdown of one simple feature, double-clicking. It does this using an optimized custom function. The result is a more flexible solution with more efficient code - which could actually be optimized even more than presented!
If you simply need double-clicking features in your FileMaker database then steal the custom function in the attached file. If you want to learn a valuable lesson in FileMaker development, then watch the video!

#2. ADD GRADIENTS EASILY USING GRADIENT MAKER
-------------------------------------------------------
Are your layouts looking a bit awkward?
Light and shadows contribute to how we see the world. Should your layouts be any different?
One of the best ways to enhance the look of your layouts is through the use of gradients.
The problem is creating them. I personally used to use another piece of software (Photoshop). Now I rarely even open it when creating my FileMaker layouts! I can create highly optimized gradients right within FileMaker. A quick drag-n-drop and I'm making better-looking layouts.
Download a copy right now and take a look!
