Installation and New Features Guide (Windows)

New features in FileMaker Pro 4-5
URL support
With FileMaker Pro 4.0 and later, you can open a URL from a field. To
open a URL in Windows, right-click a URL in a field and choose Open
<URL> from the context menu. In the Mac OS, command-click a URL in
a field. If the address is for a Web page, FileMaker Pro opens your Web
browser software.
Open URL script step
You can create a script that opens a Web browser and goes to a
specified URL.
Expanded Sort and Find options
Related records can now be sorted within a portal or as part of a related list.
With the addition of exact field matches, Find requests can be even
more specific.
Calculation functions
In FileMaker Pro 4.0 and 4.1, new functions help you determine:
1 the current group that a password belongs to
1 the modifier key being pressed by the user
1 the network protocol that is loaded and in use
1 the ID of the current record
1 the number and kinds of objects in a layout
In addition, FileMaker Pro 4.0 and 4.1 support any custom plug-ins
designed by a developer using the FileMaker Pro Developer Edition.
