Binding solution files 2-11
This replaces the “About FileMaker Pro runtime” menu item in the Help
menu (Windows) or in the Apple menu (Mac OS) with the name of the
script you specified in the primary solution file.
You can also display the “About” layout by:
1 Writing a script that displays the layout each time the end user starts
the bundled solution.
1 Displaying the “About” layout when the runtime solution is opened. To
do this, in the FileMaker Pro 4.0 Document Preferences, set the Switch
to layout option for the primary file. Select the “About” layout as the
layout that appears first.
Important Title the layout “About <solution name>.” Include your logo,
name, address, and the telephone number you are using for technical
support. You must also include additional information in your “About”
layout. See the license agreement for details.
To create an “About” layout:
1. Start with the “About” layout in the Runtime Solution Example in the
FileMaker Pro Examples and Tools folder on the Developer Tools
CD-ROM.
2. Include your logo, any other graphics, and your company
information.
Substitute your logo, solution
name, and support information
Sample “About” layout
Include a statement notifying end
users if the file has been password
protected or if access to Define Fields,
Define Relationships, ScriptMaker, and
Access Privileges is removed
