Customizing FileMaker Pro 9-7
The following example shows dialing preferences for an office. When
dialing another extension in the same office, you might not want to dial
the exchange. And when dialing a number outside the office, you might
need to dial a prefix for a local area code, or several prefixes for a long-
distance call.
FileMaker Pro matches the text in the left column of the Dialing
Preferences dialog box with the phone number in your database. When
it finds the longest matching entry in the left column, it dials the
corresponding entry in the right column. In this example, if the number
in your database is 408 555-3930, FileMaker Pro dials 3930.
Note Some modems won’t accept more than 32 characters, so be careful
when inserting or appending long numbers.
