AXCM plug-in question

[s_mayer]

Not sure if this is the best forum to post this question -- hoping someone else is using this plug-in and has a suggestion.

I'm running FM 10 on Win7 and using West Street's free AXCM plug-in to filter structured files from the book level (FM 10's attribute filtering feature seems  limited and kind of clunky). To filter a book and create duplicate files (leaving the original, unfiltered files untouched), you need to specify a filtered book folder via a browse button in the plug-in's Filter Book dialog box. But, the problem I'm having is that clicking the browse button in the AXCM dialog box doesn't do anything, which prevents me from filtering my FM book.

I've tried different book files on different Win7 systems, with the same result: nothing happens when I click the browse button. Changing the filter type to "Source file" rather than "Duplicate file" does work  (but overwrites the original FM files). I don't have the same problem running the AXCM plug-in with FM 8 on the same Win7 system.

Anyone else have a problem with this plug-in? Thanks for any help.

Hi Steve,

This is a problem related to FM10 that another user reported and I have verified. The good news is that I'm in the middle of updating the software for FM10 and I do have a tentative fix for this. If you would like to try it out, send me email at russ@weststreetconsulting.com. I'll be officially releasing an update in the near future, but I have some other work to finish on it beforehand. So, you might want to get this interim patch now, rather than wait.

Also, my apologies for the delay in response here. I had been without Internet access since Thursday due to storms.

Thanks,

Russ Ward
