[FX.php List] problem: FMP in "find" mode after fx search: A password problem !

[Softime90 Snc]

Hi Steve,

No. I tested fmp alone , without any other client connected to server.
No script at all.
The "find" mode doesn't affect next WebCompanion commands
(seems that web Companion bypass the current FM status),
but of course the "find" mode is not exactly what I would like to have
as default FM status.....

I use FX 2.3.1 with Mac OSX FMP 60tv4 (Italian localized version).
and Web Companion is 60v3, but I have same problem with Win client,
Mac OS X client and Mac OS 9 client, and also with FM 5.5
so it's something that is not related to a special FM release.

I added new FX($ip, $port, 'FMPro5/6');
no difference.
I tried also FX 3.0, but the result is the same.

The 3rd parameter, according to FX docs, means:
"how many records FX returns at once". The doc is the 2.3.1 for FM5-6.
I think you were talking about $responselayout (the 4th parameter of 
FX3.0 docs)...

But anyway the problem is here. I went on testing.
If I do a FX "findall" or use as 3rd parameter "All", not only the
result is OK, but FMP stands in the normal "use" mode.
So the problem is related to that 3rd parameter.
But I need it as I need to handle more than 50 records....

>Just some thoughts...let us know how you get on...

Today I finally solved my problem.
It was a problem of.......FMP password !
If the fmp password is different from the password used to start
FMP Client, any search request, different from "findall"
will send FPRO in "find" mode at end of processing.
If the password is the same of FMP anything is fine !

I'll do other tests to see if the problem is related to the password itself
or the users group ( I always have 2 groups: developer and normal user).
I don't know if it's a fmp (web companion) of FX problem.

Thanks for your reply
Andrea
