Hi, I get a message saying that 'the webcompanion cannot share files over the web because of a network error (-3)'. I'm trying to configure the webcompanion on a win2000 box (standalone) so that the TCP/IP port is 591 rather than 80. Every time I change it from 80 I get this message. I'm trying to configure Lasso/Dreamweaver/FMP. Why does Win2000 not like this? Harmen

I have installed FMPro 5 on W2000 and it does not run. An hour glass comes up and program appears to be starting but then nothing. In Task Manager program is running as a process. In Safe Mode program will run. Anyone know of any possible issues. I have tried with LAN card disabled and with basic VGA monitor driver as both these have been suggested as possible problems. Thanks for any help

I would like to allow users to access a FM server directly, over the internet. We have a firewall that alows reverse TCP conections. However a port for the hosting address has to be specified. I cannot find any documentation that details a port to use (and I have tried the web port of 591). Any help would be appreciated

I have a FileMaker 4 database with 30 files that run in a network with 50 users( using FileMaker Server3), and when I open a specific file of this database the FileMaker opens others files that are used by it. It works very well in 49 iMacs of this network....I have a problem with one user that his iMac doesn't open automaticly an especific file of this database, the curious is that the problem happens only when this file have to be opened. It's important to say all the network is being working with tis database without problems. This iMac uses Os 8.6 Is it an hardware or a software that causes this problem.:?..

i've installed the FMP sever 5.0 on the windows nt4 sp6. It connected with the internet directly without any firewall by a cable modem. I've another user in japan (256K leased line) and singapore (128K leased line). But both of them still feel the performance still poor. And I found my server upload speed no more than 150kbps. Is there any method to improve upload speed? P.S.: when i upload file to japan it have 200-400kbps.

My company has a small mac network running, with a file server running FMP 5 server and connected to the outside via 1.2mb dsl. Recently we just switched our gateway machine (a 7200 running ipNetrouter) with a MIH-130pro XRouter by Macsense. When we had the software gateway set up we had no problems getting to the filemaker server from the outside (port 5003), but since we've put this hardware router in, even when I open all ports to the server, it connects extremely randomly, and the only time it connects (if at all) is immediately after I reset the router. I was wondering if anyone had heard of a problem w/ this router and FMP 5 server or if anyone has any suggestions.…

I hope somebody out there can offer some insight on the problems I'm encountering. I recently bought a new computer with Windows ME, and I'm running into all sorts of formating questions with my FM databases. I'm working with three solutions that were all created using a Macintosh. When I opened them in Windows 98, the only problem with the layout formats was that everything was significantly bigger than it was on the Mac, which would require the user to toggle across and down the screen to view the entire layout. Adjusting the monitor resolution didn't solve the problem, and neither did the zoom feature. So, I modified my layouts so that they were an appropriate si…

I want to set up a UPS on an iMac running FM Pro server 3. It's currently running OS 8.6, but could be upgraded to 9 if necessary. The UPS comes with a USB cable and software that runs on the iMac. The UPS software waits for a signal from the UPS saying it's lost AC power and is switching over to the battery. Then the UPS software on the Mac issues a shutdown command that shuts down the iMac. My question is, will FM Server 3 shut down gracefully in this situation? Or will it present a dialog box of some kind waiting for user input? Or, even worse, will it damage the open database files? If you can do a File:Quit from FMP server 3 while files are running without damag…

I have an Apple StyleWriter inkjet printer that I occasionally use to print out reports from a FileMaker Pro 4.1 database. I've used this printer with the serial ports on both my Mac IIci and my PowerBook 3400C and everything works perfectly. I tried interfacing the StyleWriter to the USB port of my iMac using an iDock hub interface which is supposed to provide serial capability. The FileMaker reports print out all messed up - formatting is wrong, some fields are missing, etc. I then tried using a Keyspan USB/serial adapter and got the same results. I can print other documents, such as Simple text files and everything works OK - only the FileMaker files are messed up…

I have two Powerbooks (Pismo and G4) which need simultaneous access to six reasonably hefty FMP databases. As well as FMP, the books will continuously run productivity applications (Office, Xpress, Dreamweaver, Photoshop etc). I have a 7100/66/48Mb running MacOS 8.5 that I could set up as a dedicated FMP Server. Is it up to the job or do we need more powerful hardware? Should I be running FMP Server or can I get away with the standard edition? Would it help to downgrade the OS -- if so, to what? Would I be better to simply share between the Powerbooks? (this could create a problem when the machine running the database is out of the building). If the 7100 is up to the…

Is it possible to export an FM5 database of user details (phone, email, address) to an Outlook Contacts list? Also, is it possible to somehow "synchronise" this information between a FM Pro Server and an Exchange 5.5 server, or at least be able to automate the transfer of the contacts database between the two ? Thanks in advance ! David

Try creating two files in FM 4 with a single field in each. Name them "Main" and "records". In the records file create a script that will create a new record. In the Main file create a script which performs the external script in the records file and ad the line Halt Script at the end. In the Main file put a button on the layout which will run the script you have created. Turn on filesharing in both files. Now open the files on host machine (Mac or PC) and then on slave machine. If you simultaneously press the save button on each computer, you will eventually will get a coffee cup and the system will hang. If anyone wants a copy of the files, eMail me. This problem…

We have an iMac installed (OS 9.04) running FM server (5.0v2). Installed where they a NT network. Don't know the rev version. The basic problem is that their network slows down if the iMac is on and plugged in to the network. (doesn't matter if the FM server is active) If the iMac is left on overnight their internet access is cut off totally. It sounds like it's two seperate issues. One being the slowdown and the other somekind of process that takes their server down if the iMac is on during the night. We've checked to see if it was possible that a mounted NT drive on the iMac is a possibility and it isn't. They can't mount a network drive manually so most likely …

I am looking for ways to securely connect to our company databases from outside the firewall. The remote users do not have fixed IP addresses, so IP number based filtering at the firewall is not useful. In any case I would be happier knowing the password and data are encrypted. Is anyone connecting to FileMaker securely over TCP/IP? What are you using? My first try was tunneling TCP/IP over a Secure Shell connection (using MacSSH). This almost works, I can contact the FileMaker Server through the firewall but can not see any of the databases. My guess from browsing the FileMaker Knowledge Base is that FileMaker Pro 5 is using UDP to obtain the list of databases, and onl…

Hey everybody, I've got a relational database of about 12 files installed on a network and everybody loves it. Only problem is, now they want to use it over a T1 connection with partial bandwidth to remote offices but it takes forever to work. Is FileMaker not designed for this kind of networking? Is this happening because of the relational nature of the DB? Is there an obvious fix to this problem? Thanks a bunch, Dave

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). When you are set up with direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get information from also has a copy of TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets (see packet) that are transmitted over the Internet and rec…

Got a network of 2 iMacs up and running yesterday via a 5 port Linksys ethernet hub. The Filemaker hosting to the guest worked fine until they dialed out to AOL from the guest. After that, the guest could not reconnect to the Filemaker host. They went back in an reset the TCP/IP control panel exactly as it was before (when it worked). Then, when opening Filemaker, upon clicking on host,the files being shared from that host do not come up in the dialogue. Does the swicth over o AOL-link change some other configuration setting that I'm not aware of? Any other ideas? Thanks.

Currently we are networking fm pro 4.1 on an iMac, a iBook, and a PC. We are connected trhough ethernet using TCP/IP. We also need to connect to the internet using PPP from time to time on all the different computers. Our trouble is that inorder to make this work we have to switch tcp/ip from ethernet to PPP inorder to dial up and get connected. By doing this we loose our connection networking within our office and are forced to restart FM Pro. Is there a easy solution to this problem, or what should I do to fix this problem?

We have installed a solution that makes use of some heavy calculations to figure out time intervals. The solution runs on FileMaker Server 5. The network that the files are on is rather large, and they are getting unacceptable speed problems. For instance, filling in a row of fields in a portal is taking on the order of two minutes, whereas filling it in locally (files opened on local hard drive) or on a smaller network, there is no time delay at all. They are on 100BaseT, as are our tests. One of the things I'm going to try to do is see if I can alter the calculations to work faster. But a clue to the degraded network speed was the IP addresses of the server and th…

I have a FMP4 Web Shared solution that works perfectly on Macintosh. When moven to a NT box the cookies stop working correctly. Specifically the expire time gets screwed up, resulting in the cookies not being created or being deleted if they already exist. If the expire time is greater than 44639 minutes the problem occurs, independently of browser being used (MSIE, NN, Mac or Win) which suggests to me it's an NT thing. Perhaps a bug in Web Companion? I just moved the solution back to MacOS and it works fine. Any NT ghrus out there know what a fix is? (Other than scrap the NT box.)

Instead of having a Applications folder, Internet folder, and Utilities folder on the hard drive.

I am moving FMP databases from Macintosh to Windows NT4 and what you see on the screen is not always what is printed. Clients are completing a form with text fields approximately 4"x2" using Arial size 10 and letting the data wrap. They are happy with what they see on the screen, but what's printed has wrapped differently bumping words up one line. They are having difficulty editing the comment since they don't know what it will look like when it's printed. They are running FMP 4.1v3 on Windows NT4. If I change the font to Arial 12, the problem disappears but Arial 10 is needed so that all the data will fit on one page. If I change the font to Times New Roman 10, th…

I'm hoping someone here is good with font problems and can help me out. I've got a file where the client wants a font on a print layout to be a particular font which we only have in a PostScript version. The printing takes place on a HP LaserJet IV. Every print with that font from FileMaker produces jagged results. If the font is a TrueType font, however, it's smooth as it should be. What could the problem be? I tried installing ATM 4.6, but this resulted in PostScript errors. Thanks, Chuck

I am developing a FMP 5 solution for an NT environment. I'm having difficulties running DDE commands from FMP. My commands are working but only some of the time. I've been told that it may have something to do with the way that NT apportions application space (i.e. for the sake of system stability it parcels out the space discretely). Is there any way around this? I need to run DDEs and reconfiguring every client's machine is impossible.

Since installing fm (started with version 3 now on v5.3) several programs do not play nice with it. When running Photoshop all the fonts in fm go bad, also computer clocks go haywire (lose or gain time, 30-40mins day) and constantly have to be reset.

I am trying to print a graphic (pict, 300dpi) in a layout (so it appears on every record) over a local network. It prints fine from the server but from any of the other computers on the network, the graphic prints at low-res, (chunky 72dpi). The server is running FMP4.1. I've done these two tests: 1) import the graphic onto the networked computer and printed it locally. Yes, it prints fine. 2) imported the graphic into a container field on the server and yes, it prints fine over the network. But the issue is that I have to have it in a Layout on the server and print at hi-res over a network. Any solutions would be most appreciated. thanks!

Hi, I'm wondering what the best way is to share a database. At least one computer must have remote access to the database. The problem I found is that with remote connection the complete database is send when a remote data request is done. Is it possible that only the requested data is send via the remote connection? I'm using FileMaker 4.0v3, do I need a FMpro 5 (server) ? Thanks, Sebastiaan.

Hi, I get the following error when attempting to install WSC 5 on my machine: FileMaker WSC 5 is already installed. If this message is not true then check the following registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREFileMaker Inc.FileMaker WSC 5 - Netscape Enterprise Remove any keys under this entry for servers which no longer have FileMaker WSC 5 installed. These keys have the form https-<server name> for Enterprise servers. 1) This entry does not exist 2) WSC is not installed 3) This occurs on machines that have never had filemaker or Netscape Enterprise web server installed upon them 4) FileMaker as a company is useless when it comes to tech support (IMHO…

I'm running a Macintosh FMP Server (ver. 3) on a WAN connecting 10 elementary school. When I connect remotely from another school, I can "Specify Host IP" and save it if I use a Mac, but when I try this with a Windows PCs, I am not able to save the host IP. I get an error message that states, "Can't save host, file not found". I am then able to open the database OK, but next time I try to connect I have to do the whole process of entering the IP number of the host. Any suggestions? thanks.

8.6 or 9.0.4, what's faster/more stable? I've got a 7100 with a 266Mhz G3 in it that I use for running FMP 5. I run about 15 DB's on this machine. I plan to upgrade to FMP Unlimited and use it for the backend of a web site that's connected to MacOSXS Apache via WSC. Right now it's running 8.6, and everything seem fine, but I'm about to re-format to clean the thing up before I start using it in production, so I thought now might be a good opportunity to upgrade. My main concern is about any FMP Unlimited conflicts with the old hardware and the new OS (9.0.4) -- Any suggestions, Advice, Experiences?

I'm running FileMaker Pro 4.1 on an iMac (OS9) configured with Open Transport PPP to create a dialup connection and then attempt to contact our FMP Server 3.0 via TCP/IP. This used to work on the old machine running ConfigPPP, but now it's crashing with OT PPP - the entire program quits unexpectedly with a Type 11, 2 or 3 error. OT is the most up-to-date version, as is OT PPP and I ran FMP Updater to 4.1v3 and that didn't help. It's not a PPP error, eveything else works. I've tried reinstalling FMP and that doesn't work either. Halp! Is this an OS9 compatability issue? I doubt it's an extension confilct because it's pared down to the fewest possible extensions.

Seems like there are several issues with windows and fm5. I just converted our database to FM5 pro and works fine but prints in HUGE font (from 12 to 24)and is highly irritating. Is there some hidden setting I forget to adjust, or is this a bug (the printer is an older epson dot matrix that works fine with FM3, the FM5 prints fine on the HP 540...whats goin on!)

Have a small 15 PC peer to peer using IPX/SPX to connect clients to database source, mix of Win95 and 98. All work fine except one, I recieve an error when starting FileMaker Pro 4.0 which says unable to load IPX/SPX. When I try and open HOSTS I receive an error code 10091 but I can't find any refernce to that issue. I have checked the Frametype of the NIC and this seems fine, no errors on boot re.IPX etc. PC itself can be seen on network over TCP/IP. Would greatly appreciate any help, Barry

I have just taken over this position and I do not know a lot about Filemaker. There is a Filemaker 4.0 installed on a Windows 98 machine. There is a Novell server. People can see the host when everybody has his Filemaker configured for IPX/SPX. The Novell server is only used by this application and I would like to switch FM4 to TCP/IP. But it does not work. The Win98 can see the network. Everybody is configured for TCP/IP, but none of the clients, PCs or Macs can see the host. Is there any solution? Upgrade to FM5? Move this Filemaker to an NT machine? Or something that I have to configurein the Network settings? Thanks a lot!

Our FMServer 5 is located on a MacIntosh, and our Images are located on a different MacIntosh Server. We are trying to import images off of the MacIntosh Server using the "Import by reference". The problem we are having is after we import several hundred images, the Windows PC no longer sees the directories on the MacIntosh Server. The images that have already been imported are not affected, but we have to literally reboot the MacIntosh server in order for the Windows machine to see the entire directory structure. Has this happened to anyone? If so, what is the cause and how do we fix it? I have a few thousand images to import and this problem is causing severe product…

If I have my filemaker files open and she tries to open her files she gets an error message stating that her copy of filemaker is already in use. If I close my files and quit out of filemaker, she has no problem. this happens without us being physically connected to each other's machines. Does anyone know why this happens?

Hi All. We just installed FM 5.03 on our Macs running OS 9.04.I know previous versions of FM pro displayed the actual font style on the fond selection menu. Now everything displays in the system font. Does filemaker have a feature to display them in the actual font style or do I have to use a third party WYSISYG application. If so, any suggestions? thanks.

Running FMP 4.0 with v3 update on a client desktop, connecting via TCP/IP to remote server. TCP/IP connection made OK, but FMP crashes in the middle of the access sequence. Get a Dr. Watson error that mentions an access violation. Uninstalling and reinstalling FMP and updates on client works temporarily, but fix doesn't work more than once or twice and never after morning startup. Any thoughts out there? Been suggested problem may lie in corporate version of NT modified for security reasons.

Anyone out there know much about the compatibility of FMP 4.x with Access? I just started working with a company that is using a Microsoft Office 2000 Network (PC of course) to keep track of their daily activities and I want to know if I can link/relate my database up to theirs as mine is so much more developed for what I do than theirs is. Just how much of a problem is my Mac going to cause (the one obvious reason that I started using FMP in the first place is that it works cross platform). It would save all a lot of time and keep the flow moving nicely if I could make this work out. Thanks for any info...

I am doing some tech support work for a client. She has a photography studio with 3 macs (G4, G3, 8100/80) all connected on an ethernet network using TCP/IP protocol. On the 8100/80 is a program called THE PROGRAM, dumb I know, is it a program that uses Filemaker Pro runtime to setup up this huge database and invoicing/billing system for her. Problem, she used to have a Performa 6112 that died and I couldn't get the settings off of that machine to know how to setup her new G4. The program resides on the 8100 and has a network launcher install disk that I used to install on the G4, but when I do that I can't get the program the run on the 8100 and act as the host for t…

Our system is as follows: We host our databases on a NT 4.0 server and the clients are 4 Windows 98 workstations and 2 Mac workstations (1 running OS 8 and the other running OS 9). All of the above are using FM 5. Our data keeps getting corrupted and the culprit has been narrowed down to the Mac workstation using OS 9. How can I get this workstation into the network without ruining our data? I upgraded to FM 5 because I was told it is compatible with OS 9, but I keep having problems. HELP! All suggestions welcome.
