Customizing FileMaker Pro 9-5
Setting preferences for dialing phone numbers
In Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0, modem and dialing settings are
controlled through the Modems control panel provided within these
operating systems. For information on changing these settings, see the
documentation that came with your Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0
operating system software.
If you are using Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, or Windows
NT 3.5.1, modem and dialing preferences are controlled by
FileMaker Pro 4.0, and are explained in this section.
To dial phone numbers:
1. Define a script that includes the Dial Phone step.
Dial Phone specifies which phone numbers to dial. See chapter 5,
“Using ScriptMaker and buttons.”
2. Specify modem and dialing preferences for Windows 3.1, Windows
for Workgroups, or Windows NT 3.5.1.
See the following sections.
3. Perform the script.
Choose FileMaker Help Index from the Help menu, and then type:
