I am currently running FMPro5 Server Mac. on OS9 (Server). 3 Local Terminals (Mac OS 8.6) 1 Local Terminal (W98. We Have 2 Clients which connect to D.Bases Via Remote access(Mac). My Problem is that From home I am running W98 and running FMPro 5(W98) and I cannot log on to the host. I am using PCMaclan 7.2 and I can see shared files on Mac server but when I try to access databases I get nothing. I am able to log on to server using dial-up with server IP Address set at 192.168.0.1 (SNM)255.255.255.0.. All terminals are set sequentially with the exception of Mac Client used to check e-mail, which is connecting via Apple talk. When I attemt to access host from h…

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…

My associate and I are connected (intranet?) via apple talk. 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.

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…

Can you run both Filemaker Pro 5.0 Unlimited and 4.1 on the same machine. They don't need to be running at the sametime but I would like to work with both versions on my Powerbook. ------------------ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tom Beidler Orbit Tech Services tbeidler@mindsprin g.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

My Mac bombed and whwn I open my filemaker 3.0 I get following message The accessprivilegies to this file have been damages or tampered with.copnsult Claris technical support .... I have lost database with 2500 books laf ------------------

I have a need to set filemaker server timeout for inactivity to 10 minutes for most of the clients for security reasons. However, the clients that are responsible for daily input and access to the data base are also logged off after ten minutes of inactivity. I need a way to allow a select group of people, either with the status(groups) or status(username) that will not log them out for inactivity. I was hoping to write a script that would execute every 9 minutes, causing activity to occur for the select user. But I can't figure out how to get this to work. Any ideas?

Hello all I need help with a FileMaker Pro 5.0 database which we set up in-house, with which I'm having the following problem: The database keeps very simple information on all the jobs we're working on, from the obvious "client name" "client address", "job name", "job number" and so on, to things like "items to bill", "fees", etc. We have used this database before for a long time, but only one person had access to it, so there was no need to share the file over a network from a server, but this has changed: we decided to make it accessible to all staff so that each person could enter their own information without delays from passing the written details to one person wh…

I am working with FMP 3.0 for Mac. I want to print the same record, multiple times on the same page (for labels). Unfortunately, I can only get the label/record to print one time per page--which wastes a lot of paper. Any Solutions?
