go to related record in many-many on web

[Sleepy]

HI,
I have DB with many files linkes through a central Xref table. I've
created a set of scripts which allow the user to go from one realated
file to another directly by linking through the Xref table. This seems
necessary since the files are not directly related. Its essentially a
"go to related record" followed by a subscript "go to related record"
in the xref. A couple of tests are performed at Xref so the script is a
few lines long. it work perfectly in filemaker client but not over the
web.

Is there a way to get a function like this to work over the web?

thanx
mike

hello
look in you fm documentation and you'll see that you can call a script
in a url. but in your case it could be more complicated than that.
bye

Yes.

Assuming you can get the record id from the central Xref table,
then you'd use an Inline action to grab the right record from the
right table over the web.

Download the CDML Reference file from FileMaker for the syntax.

No. It either works or it doesn't and there is very little you
can do to influence the result...

As far as I am aware, there is no way to have a mix of
Instant Publishing and Custom Publishing.
