Meeting Notice

Attention: DAFMUG members and interested public.

At long last, we are returning to in-person meetings again. We are pleased to announce the DAFMUG Team has found a local venue where attendees can meet face-to-face on an infrequent basis, and enjoy a meal together. We are in the process of exploring more restaurant options. We are planning several meetings with different venues throughout the coming year. We will continue to offer virtual meetings on so remote attendees can join us online via Zoom.

October 5 Meeting Agenda

Meeting Update

Our meeting at Evergreen Brewery was a success. Despite low attendance, we covered several business items and had lively discussion with folks on Zoom. It looks like we will probably be meeting at restaurants whenever we can secure a venue that has stable, fast broadband service and a private meeting space with reasonable food. We’re still looking for additional venues with adequate facilities. Evergreen Brewery is still a top choice, because we have a small private room with large TV, good food. We’ll need to work around ski season for future events at this location. Attendees discussed the possibility of restaurant venues 4-5 times each year with the limitation of free room use for quiet WiFi reception, and meal service. Stay tuned and check DAFMUG web site often for updates and announcements.

Pause On Error Recap Live (remotely hosted)

The October 5 meeting will be on Zoom. Dean will be attending Pause On Error Summer Camp held at Kaplan Mitchell Retreat Center in Clayton, Georgia. You can find the event details page here: Camp 2023 | Pause. Dean will be sharing the latest FileMaker discussions with experts attending. He plans to host the DAFMUG online discussion remotely. Due to time difference, we should be able to connect at 7:00 pm, our usual time (9pm EDT). If you’re having trouble connecting, please be patient, as there may be unforeseen technical challenges for remote hosting.

Sessions Request (now accepting member submittals)

We've had a couple abbreviated version of meeting presentation called the "Session” format. It’s similar to a full presentation, but informal and more compact. It requires very little in terms of preparation. Session activities are meant to describe a narrow focus topic. Examples include:

implementing an auto-enter field with custom validation scheme when editing (script triggers)
a scripting technique that evaluates multiple params to allow/disable the editing of a record (state qualification)
a scripted technique to restrict editing of a field value exclusively to the owner of the record (login ID)
record isolation when editing a record (script trigger)
scripted interactions with FileMaker Server

We are now accepting submittals for Sessions. We are asking members to consider something practical to share with the group. All members appreciate learning from each other. This is a good opportunity to share a special feature that’s simple enough to implement in any project. And it’s typically loads of fun to discover new uses for a simple technique while sharing with the group.

We encourage your submissions at any time for future meetings. Send your submittals to with the subject: "DAFMUG Presentation" together with 1) title of Session; 2) a brief description of the purpose and expected value to designing a project. The description should be suitable to put into a meeting announcement. To submit your session or any presentation, send your proposal to this link with the subject: "DAFMUG Presentation."
