Hey everybody and welcome back! Today we’ll be discussing how the latest software update for FileMaker Pro has improved user solution creation.

For Windows users, the software update will result in the program being more streamlined and intuitive. It has corrected issues that many people experienced in the past, including the number of field repetitions resetting to one after an auto-enter calculation was created, and database administrators being able to lock users out of a file by using basic security settings.

For those on OS X platforms, FileMaker will no longer have an error which causes the program to switch erratically to Browse mode and cause the program to close completely. As long as users download the update, they can look forward to a more rewarding experience.

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time we’ll be discussing how you can more effectively use FileMaker while at work.

One of the greatest features of FileMaker 14 is the “Reconnect to Server” option. You might not even be aware of its existence, as it is buried at the bottom of the What’s New page. This will allow you to walk away from your computer with the files still open without risk of losing the information you have entered.

The Script Workspace feature has also been cleaned up since the last version of FileMaker, so now writing and assembling scripts is a streamlined process. You can do more with the keyboard without having to reach for the mouse.

According to a recent report from Compass, a global software maker, Boston, Massachusetts is ranked second in the entire world in terms of the number of startups founded by women. The East Coast city trailed only Chicago, Illinois, topping a list that includes major cities from around the world.

The report, the 2015 Global Startup Ecosystem Ranking, found that 29 percent of all startups created in the city of Boston were founded by women, a full 9 percent above the international average. The city lost to Chicago by a single percentage point, showing how quickly the business hub in Boston is progressing.

Eveline Buchatsky, Director of Techstars Boston, a startup accelerator company, told Boston.com that she credits this success to the female talent pool that is coming from both Harvard and MIT. The schools are preparing students to make an impression on the business world, particularly tech, in Boston and beyond.

"These feed the rest of the chain with good raw material that includes a lot of women," Buchatsky told the website.

Boston is home to a number of prominent female tech and business investors, including those behind CommonAngels, Boston Seed and ZipCar. The top five cities with female-founded startups included others from the United States, such as San Francisco, at 24 percent, and Los Angeles at 22 percent. Next on the list was Montreal, which was just barely edged out by LA.

At the end of July, Kyo Logic was fortunate enough to make an impact at DevCon. Not only did our own Tim Neudecker present two different exhibits, our company was able to connect and network with other business developers to share and expand our own IT capabilities.

FileMaker's DevCon is a great opportunity for people in the tech world to meet other developers, as well as exchange information and knowledge. It is also gives us a chance to show clients that we have the most up-to-date knowledge of FileMaker and everything that the solution has to offer.

Our objectives for participating in the show were simple, as we wanted to learn about our peers' strategies for implementing FileMaker solutions in a professional setting, as well as sharing our wealth of information with other developers who were in attendance at our two two exhibits.

These exhibits were a success, and Tim was again able to engage with audiences wanting to know everything about what KYO Logic and FileMaker have to offer. The two sessions offered by Kyo Logic were titled "Partnering with IT for Successful Deployment" and "Calculation Functions that Every Developer Should Know."

The latter session went through the more than 30 built-in FileMaker functions with example calculations, and how they can be applied to a variety of professional settings. "Partnering with IT for Successful Deployment" covered the many different topics concerning FileMaker and IT support, from getting IT's approval on a buy-in to how they can properly support FileMaker's solutions.

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time, we’ll be discussing some of the advantages of hosting FileMaker solutions.

One of the best aspects of FileMaker is how easily you can save and store away your data. These backups will make it possible for you to work without worrying about losing your stuff part of the way through a project because everything will be stored automatically.

FileMaker is always working to improve itself, which means that patches and updates will regularly be available in order to keep the system running as efficiently as possible. The latest products and software updates are tested and thoroughly vetted before being released.

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time, we’ll be looking at the key upgrades that are part of FileMaker 14.

The greatest aspect of FileMaker 14 is how robust it is, as FileMaker does not restrict the number of networked Go or Pro clients. Technical limits will be decided by your own hardware and operating system, not FileMaker itself.

FileMaker 14 also allows you to protect your data by setting scheduled back-ups, which will run even when the software is being used. You will also have access to your data on a 24/7 basis.

Hey everybody and welcome back! This time, we’ll be taking a look at what’s new with the FileMaker 14 server.

It’s a situation nobody wants to deal with — losing a server connection and having all of your work go with it. Now FileMaker 14 puts you right back where you were in your solution when the connection was dropped, saving you time and frustration.

FileMaker 14 also comes with enhanced password protection. When you are setting the password, the admin control will evaluate how strong it is, and there will also be a four digit number required if you ever want to change that password.
