Progress report for BookingPOINT FileMaker 15 Compatibility issue

UPDATE [June 11 2017]: BookingPOINT is now compatible with FileMaker 15 and 16. More information: Introducing BookingPOINT 6.0 Release notes: BookingPOINT 6 Release Notes Greetings, It's been a while since we last updated everyone about how we're progressing with the BookingPOINT / FileMaker 15 compatibility issue. Back in September, we discovered a serious issue with FileMaker 15 that unfortunately caused compatibility issues in BookingPOINT. To cut a long story short, the calendar did not show booking information correctly. Bookings were shown either randomly at wrong dates / times, or not at all. We've advised customers not to use FileMaker Pro 15 and to stick with FileMaker 12, [...]

More information: Introducing BookingPOINT 6.0 Release notes: BookingPOINT 6 Release Notes Hello BookingPOINT users, We recently discovered that BookingPOINT currently does not work properly with FileMaker 15 due to changes to FileMaker. More specifically, the visual booking calendar does not show bookings correctly. The cells may show the wrong colour giving the impression that a booked item is available and an available item is booked (until you scroll away and back again). We are working very hard on a solution and have made good progress but we still have some [...]

BookingPOINT 5.3.4 released

We've just released an important update for BookingPOINT, version 5.3.4. Version 5.3.3 addressed corrupt Resource Types and solved the problem for some users, but not all. If you had corrupt Resource Types when you updated to 5.3.3 then your Resource Types have already been repaired. If you did not have corrupt Resource Types, then 5.3.3 could still potentially corrupt them. We recommend that everyone upgrades to version 5.3.4 as it resolves the corruption issue. Here's what's new for version 5.3.4: New: Added the ability to choose your paper size for printing in Settings. Options are A4, Letter & Legal, with the default [...]
