When I try to select my Database Design Report, FMrobot says that it is “not a valid XML file.” What does that mean?
A few things can cause FMrobot to not recognize your Database Design Report: – Make sure your DDR is in XML format. When you are creating your DDR, make sure to select “XML” (not “HTML”) as the report format. – DDRs generated by FMDev 6 FP5 Database Design Reports (generated by FileMaker Developer 6) require a quick manual modification before the Mac version of FMrobot will recognize them as valid XML files. To do this, open the XML DDR file in TextEdit, perform a Save As, make sure the text encoding is set to UTF-16, give the file a new name (important!), and then save it. FMrobot will then recognize the XML file as valid. Please note, however, that we strongly recommend working with DDRs generated by FileMaker Developer 7 or FileMaker Pro 8 Advanced for the reasons mentioned earlier in the documentation! – DDR Platform You typically should generate the Database Design Report on the same platform that you will use when running FMrobot. FMrobot running on a Mac may not recognize the DD
