      Opening on different platforms

      Post

      Hi everyone, just wondering how would I set up my opening screen for different platforms....ie....desktop..laptop..iphone.   Currently I have my opening screen set up for desktop, and since it doesn't fit on laptop screen I had to rearrange it to fit on laptop and seperate one for iphone. Any idea how I can have FM to recognize my platform and go directly to the layout that I setup for the platform? Sounds like some Gets and If's...... Thanks -J

          Look up Get(ApplicationVersion) in FileMaker help.

          You can use this in combination with patterncount such as:

          If [ PatternCount ( Get (applicationVersion ) ; "IPad" ) ]

          In a script set in file options to run each time the file opens to detect the type of device opening your file.
