I have a system working with a server and 10 clients. The files are at the server machine and I'm working sharing the database on a network. The question is when I use a startup script, does it execute on the server computer , where the files are located, or does it execute on the client machine that activated the script ?

Does the startup script work the same way the perform script works ?

Luiza,

It depends on your script on the client. I have a script that when a user opens the file and types in their password a script on the host machine opens all the files I have scripted to open.

Hope that helps.

Scripts run on the local machine.

The only way to get scripts to run on the host are to use remote access software like Citrix or Timbuktu, or to use the files with a web browser through Web Companion and invoke one of the CDML -Script tags.

If the files are hosted through a normal copy of FMP (or FMPU but not FM Server) scripts can also be run on the host as startup scripts each time the files are opened on the server.
