Meeting Notice

Attention: DAFMUG members and interested public.

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 so remote attendees can join us online via Zoom. This meeting will be held at Evergreen Brewery in the foothills. See agenda below for details, including a map.

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."
