Zero Tolerance, If you mean Open the File you want to share then chose Filemaker Pro>Sharing>Filemaker Network. Turn Network Sharing on, then Specify users by privlege set etc..., Then yes I have done that in all the files I wish to share including setting up users and their privleges in all of the files too. I have not selected "do not show in Open Remote dialog box" so this is not the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. Cindy

First off, sorry for taking a week to answer your posts. I have been checking every day and today is the first time your posts have displayed. Ender - We are networked because I have access to the files on the Host Computer but I am not able to Share the Files. ie. I can only open them when the host has them closed. I have done and redone all of your suggestions in FM over and over again with no luck. Stanley - I was thinking that it may be a limitation with the Trial Version but can find no reference to it anywhere. FM just sent an email welcoming me to the Trial Version with an email link for any questions. I will email using this link in hopes that I do not get the standard "Please Call" reply. (I am not in North America so the Toll Free Numbers do not work for me) Thank you both for your help. I will post the fix when I find it. Cindy

Please help me. This is driving me nuts. The Facts: I have networked two Mac G5's running Mac OS 10.3.6 I have installed FMP7 on the Client and FMP7 Trial on the Host (waiting for my supplier to receive the full version.) We are networked using Airport Extreme in a small office environment. The Problem: The Client Machine will not open files using "Open Remote". I can see the Host Computer but no files show up no matter how long I wait. The Client Machine will open the same files using "Open" as long as the Host Machine does not have the file open. Solutions I have tried: 1)Turning off Mac OS File Sharing (another Topic said to do this as MAC OS Sharing and FMP Sharing Clash - This only resulted in not being able to connect to the other machine at all. 2)One of the technical notes on FM Website said ""TCP/IP OT Network" file needed to be in the FMP Extensions folder"". This file does not show up in any FMP7 Folder. I did find it in the extension Folder of FMP6 Folder so I moved it over to the FMP7 extension folder. This had no effect at all. 3) My Favorite Solution - Send a detailed email to FMP Support through their Website as they suggested when I was searching for the answer. RESULT - the next page said words to the effect "we do not answer these questions electronically - please phone" I was NOT impressed. 4)Search the Forums for any one else with the same problem. Can find no answer. Sorry for the long post. I will appreciate any help. Thanks
