dpccgf Posted January 2, 2002 Share Posted January 2, 2002 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?

Kurt Knippel Posted January 3, 2002 Share Posted January 3, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dpccgf Posted January 3, 2002 Author Share Posted January 3, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Knippel Posted January 4, 2002 Share Posted January 4, 2002 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.
