ernst 0 Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Hello all, To make it easy for users to open their solution with an icon on their Desktop I've always made two different start files: - one for connecting from inside the local network with the datasource set to their local IP address: fmnet:/192.168.1.2/SolutionName - one for connecting via WAN with the datasource set to their WAN IP address or hostname: fmnet:/hostname.com/SolutionName But actually it would be cleaner to get this functionality with just one starter file, which automagically picks the right path. I tried adding both local and WAN hostname in the datasource specification, which works, but appears to cause a long delay time because FileMaker first takes it's time to search the first path, which may not be the appropriate path for the current location. Has anybody fount a clever way around this? Link to post Share on other sites
