Barry685 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 On a win7 pc I have opened an Fm12 file. Sharing is on, and I have network access set to all users. The "Don't display in open remote dialog" is unchecked. When I use the open remote command from a client PC, I do see the IP address of the host, but it doesn't display the fm12 file I am trying to open. I know the network is operating properly, because I can access the folder on the host computer from the client. I can even run the FM file from the client without using the open remote command.

Fitch Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 If I understand that last sentence -- don't do that!!! If multiple people are opening a FileMaker file that's in a shared folder, you will corrupt the file. ALWAYS use FileMaker's Open Remote command for sharing a file. You should turn off file sharing for the folder that contains the file. Check your privilege sets in the security settings, and make sure "Access via FileMaker Network" is enabled.
