If you haven't upgraded to FileMaker Server 9.0v3 yet, and are an AutoSender user, we strongly advise you to upgrade asap.

FileMaker Server 9.0v2 contains a bug where database sessions can't be closed properly (including disconnects) while an ODBC or JDBC session is active.

If you are using JDBC with AutoSender to connect to your mail sources, you may experience this problem.

As a workaround on 9.0v2, stop the AutoSender service/daemon first, before closing the files. Or upgrade to 9.0v3 to solve the problem altogether.

AutoSender 2 has been released last week. We would like to thank all our beta testers for the invaluable feedback we received !

Existing users of AutoSender 1.x can upgrade to 2.0 for EUR 49,- or about USD 70,-. All AutoSender purchases after October 1st, 2007 are entitled to a free of charge upgrade.

More details are available on the AutoSender product page.

We just updated our FileMaker to vCal XSLT to version 1.2. The free FileMaker to vCal XSLT solution allows you to subscribe to FileMaker calendar data from vCal-compatible calendaring programs.
With this version, iCal should now update calendar events properly under Mac OS X Leopard. In this version, we changed the DTSTAMP parameter in the XSLT to use the modification date instead of the creation date of an event.

Check this article or more information on how to use this solution.
Download version 1.2 here.

We are pleased to announce the availability of a public beta of our AutoSender 2 product for Mac & Windows.

AutoSender is a tool that runs on the FileMaker Server, and allows you to automatically send mail messages from your FileMaker solutions.
