Re: Patching a Cast Iron Drain - 4 months ago

I've used epoxy tape in a similar situation. If it's a drain there is little pressure and basically it's a matter of stopping a a low pressure leak. JB Weld might work but I'd still put epoxy tape over it.

Re: Alternative to FileMaker Pro? - 1 year ago

Filemaker, about once a year, offers a 2-for-1 deal; they did so recently for Filemaker Advanced 18, an opportunity to cut the price in half if you can find another interested party. (I'm on Filemaker Advanced 17, having gone through Filemaker Advanced 8,9, and 12. I need the scripting and debugging capabilities of the Advanced versions.) Panorama would be a good and highly capable replace

Re: Rocket Yard Testing Lab: Which Browser is Fastest? - 2 years ago

I've make Brave my default browser and like it a lot. I really like the way it saves login and password info and automatically inserts it when I visit a site. And it seems faster than Safari and Firefox. I was originally attracted to the way it would display bookmarks at the top of the screen ( I don't like to have to squint). A new version has come on the scene in which the size of these b

Filemaker 17 solution bombs after 17.3.304 update - 2 years ago

My heavily-scripted application unexpectedly quits at certain points in the program. I'm suspicious that it has something to do with "Show Custom Dialog" steps. I can't seem to trace it further with Script Debugger. The solution has been to restore Filemaker Pro Advanced to the previous update version. Occurs on one Mojave and two High Sierra Mac Pros. Anyone else having a simila

Re: New 2 Me iMac: Going to keep it at 10.6.8 - 2 years ago

I use 10.6.8 on a headless Mini with an Apple USB Fax Modem connected to a VOIP "landline". (Yes, some still must be able to send and receive faxes). Remote screen sharing allows complete access. Works great.

Re: Has anyone here installed 10.14 onto an unsupported mac (or PC)? - 2 years ago

Two Mac Pro 5,1s with AMD HD7950 Sapphire cards upgraded to Mojave but both hung up and wouldn't complete upgrading to 10.14.1. I think the graphics cards may be the problem. Be sure to backup. It saved me.

Re: In light of everything -- Who is using High Sierra without any problems? - 3 years ago

Some programs that were running fine under Sierra have some problems with High Sierra. FileMaker 12 for example.

by tlh828 - Tips and Deals

Re: How does High Sierra work for you? - 3 years ago

Filemaker 12 code works fine up to Sierra. But High Sierra broke the "Show Custom Dialog" script step and causes Filemaker to crash. Possibly or probably other scripts are broken as well although other solutions which do not use the "Show Custom Dialog" script step work without a hitch.

Re: FileMaker 12 seems to be compatible with Sierra - 4 years ago

Onamuji - haven't tried the global search. Don't know what it is even in FileMaker. But I was able to display a photo from a FileMaker DB and paste it into a FileMaker-initiated email and send it.

FileMaker 12 seems to be compatible with Sierra - 4 years ago

FileMaker says "FileMaker 14 and earlier versions of FileMaker have not been tested or certified with macOS Sierra. These products were developed and released before macOS Sierra became available" But it seems to work fine on my applications.
