We just released a new version 2.2 of our plug-in specifically for the Belgian market: eID & SIS. It is a plug-in that allows you to read data from the Belgian eID identity card or the Belgian SIS social security card directly into a FileMaker database.

More product info on the eID & SIS product page
A free demo version is available from our downloads page.
The product is available for purchase starting today. Upgrades for users of 1.x are free of charge.

We just released PrinterSwitch 2.0, a major upgrade to our plug-in for managing printers in your FileMaker solutions.

What's new in 2.0 ?

Now that FileMaker 11 has been released, we wanted to give everyone an update on the compatibility status of our products with this new release.

Here's an overview:

(more...)

We wanted to give everyone an update on the compatibility status of our products with Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard:

Initial testing with the latest versions of our plug-ins (DoSQL, DoScript, PrinterSwitch), have not shown any compatibility issues with FileMaker 10 on Snow Leopard.

We expect AutoSender 2.5.5 to work fine with FileMaker Server 10, once the 10.0v2 upgrade is made available by FileMaker.

The latest version of Clip Manager (3.1.3) has been tested and works fine.

There are some issues with our FileMaker to vCal XSLT and time zones in Snow Leopard. We hope to address this in an update in the next couple of weeks.

If you do encounter any issues with one of our products on Mac OS X Snow Leopard, please let us know at http://myfmbutler.com/support

We wanted to give everyone an update on the compatibility status of our products with FileMaker 10:

Initial testing of our plug-ins (DoSQL, DoScript, PrinterSwitch), have not shown any compatibility issues with the FileMaker 10 platform.

AutoSender 2.5 also seems to work fine with FileMaker Server 10, although we'll be providing a small update that will integrate a new JDBC driver by February.

Clip Manager 3 does have some issues for people trying to 'Get' or 'Set' a custom function with FileMaker Pro 10 Advanced. We will be releasing version 3.1 later this month. This version will also provide a number of other fixes.

We also recently found issues (unrelated to FM10) when using the 'Copy to Clip Manager' function on Brian Dunning's CF web site. Starting with a certain build of Flash 9 and all builds of Flash 10, the copying no longer works. We are currently working on a fix and hope to provide it by next week (actually, we already fixed it today).

In order to claim the discount, customers should use the coupon code 'THANKS2008' when checking out.

We just released a maintenance update for our PrinterSwitch plug-in.

Version 1.7.2 fixes a Windows-only issue: it was reported that on some rare Windows XP installations the plug-in could cause a crash at FileMaker startup. The issue has been fixed in this release.

SHpartners just received a "FileMaker Excellence Award for FBA Business Partner of the Year" at DevCon.

Obviously we are very proud
