related graphics or not?

[jeffer]

Hello,

Let's say i have two databases. One called view and the orther called graphic. In the graphic databases I've got al kinds of graphics in a record with one text field as the name. The view database is related by the graphic names trough the name. This makes it possible to switch graphics on the fly. But is this a good solution when working trough a Filemaker server over internet???

thnx allready:)

I never put interfaces files on server, they are local for every user.

Firstly for speed, secondly that way users can change the look of app more easily.

But how do you do that? When i make a relationship from a file on the server to a local file on the computer....filemaker can't find the local file

I've tried everything...just doesn't work!

You need to have already opened local files ( or just one of them if they are located in same dir) before connecting to server.

Offcourse:( The network hosted database doesn't know the location of the local files:)

So when they are opened first...it's done!!!

THNX:)

Just create a LOCAL database that triggers a script on opening which opens local databases and the server databases. That way, you still only need to open one file which in turn loads everything in the sequence you put in the script
