January 2, 200224 yr If I am using Filemaker Pro 5.5 Unlimited, is there a way to auto start FM Pro and open the appropriate databases whenever someone in our IS department reboots the web server? Thanks!
January 3, 200224 yr Hmm, why? Is Unlimited running on the web server? If not, why the need to restart? If so, just make a opener file and put it into the startup group/procedure on the web server machine.
January 3, 200224 yr Author Yes, we are using IWP and it is running on a web server. So the program and databases need to be opened to access them.
January 4, 200224 yr Just create a simple Filemaker file that runs a script on opening. Similiar to the following: Open [DatabaseOne.fp5] Open [DatabaseTwo.fp5] Close [] [code] Then put this Filemaker file into your startup group or make a startup procedure such that it opens this file, which will open Filemaker Unlimited and will then open the databases from the Filemaker Server.
