linking 2 files on server trough "Hosts"

Greetings,

I had to create a new simple db this morning to add to our db system running on FMP Server 5.

So I created the file, moved it to the server, opened it on FMP Server, created a relationship from one of our old db to the new one and from the new one to the old db.

Everything is fine on my computer but it shows a "File Missing" message in the related fields in our old db for everyone else !

How can I make the link properly so that it works for everybody ? Do I really have to close both files from the server and open them locally ?

Can anyone explain exactly how FileMaker keeps track of which file it links to, where the file is and such...?

Thank you very much

While I would still like to learn about the way FileMaker stores the information about the linked file and all, I have found the solution to my problem... grin.gif

The other users just have to close and open the db again for the relationship to function properly.
