March 6, 200322 yr Can I have it so that the db in one machine and the result files are on another? In my opening index.html (which is on the same machine as the db) form I have: <INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="-Format" value="http://server.com/client/results.html"> But I get an error: JavaScript-Format File Not Found: The format file "http://server.com/client/results.html" could not be found. Yet if I copy the erorr address it does see my file. I can see all the code.
March 6, 200322 yr The CDML format files need to be in the "Web" folder inside the "FileMaker Pro" folder on the machine that is running Web Companion. Images can be anywhere you want, the databases can be hosted on another machine and opened as a guest, but the format files need to be on the machine running Web Companion.
March 11, 200322 yr You can link the local result file from web folder to any URL you like with Meta redirect or JS. HTH
March 11, 200322 yr But, if you do perform a redirect, it should be noted than any CDML Tags in the target file (ie the file the redirect sends you to) will not be processed by FileMaker. . If the format file is just text (no FileMaker Actions) or just a form (in which case you can have the file anywhere, provided the Form Action Parameter is "http://www.yourserver.com/FMPro") then the redirect will work.
