Feature comparison of the runtime application with FileMaker Pro 87
Toolbar comparison
The New Database and Open tools in the standard toolbar (in Browse
mode, Find mode, and Preview mode) are not available in the runtime
application.
The Help tool on the standard toolbar in the runtime application is
dimmed unless a custom Help script has been specified.
The text formatting toolbar is the same for both the runtime
application and FileMaker
Pro.
Menu command comparison
The following tables show the menu commands that are available in
FileMaker
Pro (Pro) and in the runtime application (RT).
Note You can add menu items that mimic Open, Close, and Recover
menu commands to a runtime application using custom menus based
on a script or script step. For more information, see
“Customizing
menus” on page 21.
