FileMaker Pro Users Group - Dallas Chapter

Welcome to the FileMaker Pro Users Group Dallas Chapter. We are a computer users group that supports software users and developers of Claris' Workplace Innovation Platform software including FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server, FileMaker Go, FileMaker WebDirect, and Claris Connect.

We meet monthly for lunch on the first Friday of the month at 11:15am CST at Harmonic Data's conference meeting room at 15950 N. Dallas Parkway, Dallas, Texas 75248. We meet both virtually and in-person at the same time, so join us either way.

About our Meetings

Most of our meetings are about a presentation on a specific FileMaker software topic, often with a lot of community interaction and feedback.

Everyone is welcome to the user group meetings and there is no requirement for attendance other than decent civility (e.g., Golden Rule). The topics we present tend to be intermediate to advanced development topics. Typical topics are about calculations, schema, user interace, scripting, security and plugins.

The meetings are small enough for good audience interaction typically a dozen or more in attendance combined both virtually and in-person.

Schedule

May 3rd

Presenter: Eric Clark, Jean Mizero, and Heather McCue
We're excited to show you... two techniques for data management that may be new to you. Eric Clark will demonstrate a method for generating exports with custom field names, and Heather McCue will discuss a scripting method for error trapping and streamlining of scripts. Both demonstrations will include sample files. We want your help--The "trials" part of the title is for you. What problem are you trying to solve that you'd like to present to the community? Alternately, what solution do you want to show us? Submit your ideas for this new 15 minute segment of our meeting. We want to feed you--let us buy you lunch! Join us Friday the 3rd of May at 11:15 AM for the meeting and stay for a burger from Kenny's Burger joint. All you have to do is tell us you're coming and whether you want beef, chicken or veggie. Please let us know by Wednesday May 1st. NOTE: for this meeting we will be using TEAMS instead of RingCentral. If you are joining us virtually please join early.

Organization

We are an unaffiliated independent organization organized to further software educational purposes using Claris software and the FileMaker platform. While we promote and teach FileMaker software, we are not legally connected with or otherwise related to Claris International other than we are recognized by them as a FileMaker Pro Users Group, and that is the extent of our relationship. We used to operate our web page under the umbrella of www.FMPUG.com, the FileMaker Users Group national organization, and still maintain some of our information there.
