2. Type the menu name that replaces the “Script” menu.
For example, type “<solution name>Reports.” The menu name you
specify cannot exceed 31 characters.
3. In Windows, specify a keyboard accelerator by typing an ampersand
(&) in front of the character you want to become the accelerator key
(for example,
Address Re&ports will display as Address Reports).
Once you’ve specified options on the third panel of the Binder
application, click Next.
Assigning the three-character extension
The three-character extension associates the solution files with the
FileMaker Pro runtime application. This will help your customers
identify your solution files and, together with the binding key, ensure
that the correct runtime application opens when a solution file is
double-clicked.
To specify a three-character extension:
1. In the three-character extension text box, assign the extension for
your solution or use the default “.usr” extension.
2. Type a unique three-character extension.
