an alias

[dharkin]

Hello group,

Is there a way to create a shortcut or alias so your database just opens when server by filemaker. Instead of opening filemaker and navigating to the database.

Thanks

What you probably want is an opener file. It's a small filemaker file that sits on the client computer and has a startup script that automatically opens the files on the server. Vaughan wrote up a good article about it. See the following thread:

Thanks that will probably do the trick.

Pressing HOST button is not big "navigating" to the hosted database. But opener doing the same through HOST is easier for sure.
