Cure for FMPRo startup problem on OS X.1.5

For all those whose posts I've read here, who are having problems with 5.5 having updated their system to X.1.5 - I got it sorted, finally.

The problem was the preferences file for FMPro. I just deleted it and bingo - now FMPRo starts up, just as before.

This is in the "Your Username"/Library/Preferences/FileMaker Pref. Folder,

not the general root Preferences folder.

It's not a standard text file so you can't edit it or see what's wrong with it. It would be nice if you could...

I guess the update to X.1.5 or the networking update changed some features of networking, so when FMPro tried to access the TCP/IP network, it found something which didn't fit any more.

Maybe FM should check this out - it would be nice to at least get an error message, not just an app that won't start any more...

What was the problem? You didn't say. Was it just simply refusing to open FMP files? Or?? [color:"blue"]
