Meeting Notice

Attention: DAFMUG members and interested public.

We are pleased to announce the DAFMUG Team has found possible local venues where attendees can meet face-to-face on an infrequent basis, and enjoy a meal together. We are in the process of exploring more restaurant options. We are planning several meetings with different venues throughout the coming year. We will continue to offer virtual meetings so remote attendees can join us online via Zoom. This meeting will NOT be hosted online.

No Zoom Connection in November

[Venues only] members are invited to gather at the current venue - only when meeting status is indicated on the agenda below - for a meal starting at 6:00 pm. Meetings will begin at 7 pm and run until 9 pm on Zoom and in-person (when venue is available). New meeting invitations with connection details will be emailed to members who already RSVPd to be added to the invitation list.


November 7 Agenda

Event Status

This meeting will NOT be hosted online.

Date-Time: November 7, 2024, 5:00 pm - 9:00pm

DAFMUG Harvest Gather

Event Location: Golden Mill Food & Drink
1012 Ford St, Golden, CO 80401

Driving directions: From W 6th Ave head west toward Golden; take Hwy 58 eastbound. From I-70 head west on Colorado Hwy 58 toward Golden. From Hwy 58 take the Washington Ave exit. Turn onto Washington downhill and head south 3 blocks to 10th St. Turn left on 10th and head east 2 blocks to Ford Ave. Then turn right and head south again to Water St. Parking for Golden Mill is available directly behind the building (north side) and along nearby streets. Clear Creek runs along the main patio on the front to the south.

Since this event is in person, we will not be connecting on Zoom in November. Instead, we’re planning on a purely social gathering (face-to-face) just like old times. The only item on the agenda is having fun and enjoying time together. There will be food and beverages on an open air patio overlooking Clear Creek. We won’t be live streaming this event, because it’s going to be too noisy and you probably couldn’t hear us anyway.

Take a peek at the many food options here. There will be 5 top food vendors serving a wide variety of specialty cuisine. The facility has a special bar tab card that lets you purchase self-serve drinks and order food at the vendor food court.

So grab your favorite person/spouse, and bring your appetite to this event. You may want to arrive sooner than later — the indoor seating fills up quickly as evening approaches. Looking forward to seeing everyone there!


Sessions Request (now accepting member submittals)

We've had a couple abbreviated version of meeting presentation called the "Session” format. It’s similar to a full presentation, but informal and more compact. It requires very little in terms of preparation. Session activities are meant to describe a narrow focus topic. Examples include:

  • implementing an auto-enter field with custom validation scheme when editing (script triggers)
  • a scripting technique that evaluates multiple params to allow/disable the editing of a record (state qualification)
  • a scripted technique to restrict editing of a field value exclusively to the owner of the record (login ID)
  • record isolation when editing a record (script trigger)
  • scripted interactions with FileMaker Server

We are now accepting submittals for Sessions. We are asking members to consider something practical to share with the group. All members appreciate learning from each other. This is a good opportunity to share a special feature that’s simple enough to implement in any project. And it’s typically loads of fun to discover new uses for a simple technique while sharing with the group.

We encourage your submissions at any time for future meetings. Send your submittals to with the subject: "DAFMUG Presentation" together with 1) title of Session; 2) a brief description of the purpose and expected value to designing a project. The description should be suitable to put into a meeting announcement. To submit your session or any presentation, send your proposal to this link with the subject: "DAFMUG Presentation."
