216     FileMaker Functions Reference
Client/server architecture
The relationship between two networked computers that share resources. The client 
requests services from the server, and the server provides services to the client.
Clipboard
A temporary storage area in computer memory where FileMaker Pro places the most 
recent selection you've cut or copied.
Clone
A copy of a FileMaker Pro file that contains all the field definitions, tables, layouts, scripts, 
and page setup options, but none of the data.
Column
When a database file is viewed as a table, a column corresponds to a field.
Columnar List/Report layout
A predefined layout type for setting up simple reports (columnar or extended columnar) or 
complex reports with grouped data (subsummary reports). The fields that you specify 
appear in columns across the screen or page in one line. Field names are in the header 
part and the footer part is blank.
Combo box
A type of drop-down list you can set up in Layout mode. In the Field/Control Setup dialog 
box, select 
Include arrow to show and hide list
. The list will only drop when users click 
the arrow, not when they enter the field.
Commit
To save changes to a database file. Certain actions such as navigating between records, 
finding, and sorting do not change the file’s modification date. Other actions, such as 
changing data in a record or changing a layout do change the file’s modification date.
Constant
In a formula, an unchanging value. For example, a constant can be a field name, a text 
literal ("Total:"), or a number. The value of the constant doesn't change from record to 
record as the formula is evaluated. Text constants in formulas can be up to 253 characters 
long.
Container data type
Pictures, sounds, QuickTime movies, OLE objects (Windows), and files of any type can 
be inserted in a container field.
Context
The starting point or perspective from which calculations and scripts are begun, and from 
which a relationship is evaluated in the relationships graph.
Convert
Opening a data file from another application, which creates a new FileMaker Pro file 
containing the data.
