There’s a few functions that identify open files and the position.

WE use the ID of the file to target the file to write or close.

In order to identify files, FIleMaker keeps an ID of each one.

If I don’t close the file, I can’t open it again.

Get the file’s size (to determine the next position to write to).

There’s a certain workflow, a certain order of steps to follow each time:.

Other file types will work, though I like the simplicity of the. But they’re useful because I can test it out and build something for implementation later on. My desktop and a “databases” folder are littered with these. What I learnedĭo you do this sometimes? DO you just build a test file and play around with a step or two? As I said in my video, I have thousands of files that explore single new features or help me study for the certification test.
