Dear All I'm new to Linux, and even newer to Wine. So, please excuse... I've got a Dell D800 with both Linux and Windows installed. Linux is Debian Etch, Windows is XP. The reason for installing Wine was that I'd like to use FileMaker Pro 8.5 from within Linux. I've installed Wine to the Linux world by: sudo apt-get install wine This worked without problems. In the shell, I

Hi I am told that filemaker follows an SQL standard. We have filemaker pro 8.0 Can I access the database using activerecords or Rails? All I see mentioned is postgres, mysql, etc I found http://rubyforge.org/projects/rfm/ it requires FileMaker Server Advanced 7.0, But the server advanced is 1400$ for education and I can''t justify the cost right now. My goal is to develop a small

Hi One of our customers has a Filemaker database which needs to be accessed for some data. Using the Web Companion, I can query the database for an XML version of the data. I need to be able to push this data into an array of hashes, so I can access it in a more convenient way. Filemaker is able to provide me with 2 XML formats (DSO-XML and FMP-XML): *********** DSO-XML ***********

Hi, Thought I have been using Linux for a few years, use wine almost every day to run Corel apps on my laptop, and can get small win apps to load, I have not had any sucess running Filemaker. If it is possable- I would very much love to demo the new version of ebase running with wine on Linux at the August Filemaker Confrence. Is there anyone who monitors this group who has sucessfuly run

Hi all, I''ve got a very obscure problem. We''re trying to get Rails to talk to Filemaker. So we''ve setup an ODBC dsn and via RubyODBC we''re talking to it. Excellent. Try it under rails and rails won''t even startup, getting bus errors anytime we require ''odbc''. Environment OSX Tiger 10.4.6 Rails 1.1.2 Ruby 1.8.4 RubyODBC 0.998 via

When I try to import an spss sav file with read.spss() I am getting the following error 'Error in read.spss("X:\\xxxx.sav") : error reading system-file header' and the import process is aborted. I have tried in v. 2.3.0 and 2.3.1 The sav-file loads without problems in spss v14 I have tried saving in older spss v7 but are getting the same result. The read.spss() has other

Hi, I am new to this list but I have tried to search for answers to this one. Ever since we moved the *.fp5 files off a windows 2000 server and onto samba filemaker is now 20% the speed it was before. It was happening with samba 2.2.3a and I have just recently upgraded to 2.2.5 and it didn't fix the problem. I suspect it's a locking issue and the speed of getting locks on the files.

I am running FileMaker 6.0 via Wine on Ubuntu 6.10. I have a file/ table/whatever it is called Case.fp5 and another table called Actions.fp5. Case is a one to many relationship to Actions, related via the CaseID. Date Closed is calculated in Case: If Last(Actions::Action Type) = "Close" then Date Closed = Last(Actions::Date Created) (something like that since I can't actually see

Hi all, anybody get connection with Filemarker 10 for mac? How do that? I suppose did right, but it is not working. -- Daniel Marcelino Phone: (647) 8910939 [[alternative HTML version deleted]]

We have a customer system running Slackware Linux (kernel 2.4.25) and Samba. The customer was running Samba 2.2.8 but we recently upgraded them to Samba 3.0.13. The customer has a FileMaker database on a public share. Before the upgrade, the customer was able to have multiple concurrent access to the database. After the upgrade, only the first user to access the database was successful.

I am using R 1.9.1 with R Commander GUI under Windows at work, and under Linux Mandrake 10 OR at home. I am having no problems running R Commander under windows. Under Linux, though, the opening and sometimes closing of windows from R Commander produces identical and repetitive error messages (in dialogue boxes and mirrored in the console): >"Warning: X11 protocol error: BadWindow

Hi everyone, I am running ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy) and have the latest version of wine installed (from winehq). The application I'm having trouble with is Filemaker Pro 8. It installed without any problems. It opens without any problems. Everything looks normal. I can create a new database and open an existing one. Both work. However after a short period of experimenting (just generally

Hi, I was wondering if some Wine wizards would be willing to help me with a few residual issues I'm having with FileMaker 8 Pro on Wine 0.9.3. Something changed between 0.9.2 and 0.9.3, and I'm interested to know what, that made the actual application usable. (an MSI MaskEdit patch fixed the installation issue post-0.9.2, thanks!) Under 0.9.2 typing into a database form field

On 16 Apr, Unung Istopo Hartanto asked about using R library 'foreign' to import SPSS Data Entry data files. SPSS Data Entry is an application that allows for the creation of formatted data entry forms (as does EpiInfo, Epidata and CSPro (all free downloads)). As such it creates the usual SPSS data files, but adds forms information, which the 'foreign' package does not know how

I would like to preface this by saying that I have not been using R for long, and consider myself a beginner. But the more I use and learn R, the more impressed I am with both the 'product' itself, and the efforts of those developing it. It has been noted (eg Duncan Murdoch, 15 April), that the barplot function in R 1.9.0, when used on a tabulated single factor, produces a plot only one

I am running R on a corporate Windows XP SP2 machine on which I do not have administrator privileges or access to most settings in Control Panel. R is installed from my limited user account. The version of the JVM I have installed is perhaps best described as antique: > system(paste("java -version"),show.output.on.console=T) java version "1.4.1" Java(TM) 2 Runtime

I am writing a application where there is a lot of data in an old Filemaker program that I am going to need to do a 1 time import...1 main table and 2 related tables. I can get the data from Filemaker into a dbf or csv or Excel file without problem. Is anyone aware of a utility for postgresql or a rails plug-in that might make this easier? I am worried about Rails import since I can''t

First time here, so I hope this isn''t a FAQ (although I did check *the* faq). I''m using mongrel_cluster with --prefix, and it is very slick. Thanks for that. But I had one problem. At one point in my little app, I have something like this: image_tag(url_for(:action => ''picture'', :id => 1), :size => "160x200") In this scenario,

Dear list, I have to read some clinical data a file coming from Filemaker on Macintosh (Ugh ! But it could be worse and come from Excel...). Exporting via Excel is out of question since the file has 467 columns and 121 lines (+ headers), which is out of reach of Excel. So I received an "mer"" files, which is what Filemaker exports as a text file. It seems to be a semicolon
