Design functions
Design functions return information about the structure of open database files. For example, you
could determine the names of all the layouts or fields in an open database file.
Note FileMaker Pro limits the information returned by a design function, according to the privilege
set in effect when the function evaluates a database file. See
Creating and managing privilege sets
for more information about granting access to database files.
Design function parameters can be any of the following:
• filenames such as “Customer” or literal text such as "Jack"
• layouts such as layoutName
• other functions such as Left(text;number)
Important Literal text parameters such as filenames and layout names must be enclosed in
quotation marks. Use quotation marks around field names to indicate the literal string is the
parameter (omit quotation marks to indicate the value stored in the field is the parameter). You can
use spaces before or after the parentheses that enclose parameters, but spaces are not necessary.
Use a semicolon between parameters when a function requires more than one parameter.

DatabaseNames A list of the names of all database files open on the computer (including files
opened as a
client), separated by carriage returns.
