sorry for the dumb question, but I just cant figure it out.

How do i make a desktop alias to a server hosted db?

Meaning.. Got my FM server setup hosting db - showtime. Got mac with FM. Want to make alias on mac that will auto open the hosted db -showtime.

When using FMPro Server, the client computers should open the served files through the "Hosts" command. Using an alias to the file you want defeats the purpose of FMPro Server. There are two solutions for quick start up and logging on from the client side I know of.

I use QuickKeys to create a logon script. Works Great!

The other solution is to create a file which in it's opening triggers the hosted files you want to be opened, then closes itself. A copy of this file would be located on each client machine. Haven't tried this myself.

Good Luck
