Newbies bermaster Posted February 4, 2004 Newbies Share Posted February 4, 2004 How would I go about removing databases from showing up in the File > Open > Hosts list. I have too many databases in there and I would like to just make a master database that my users can just open and from there they can access all the other databases. I simply want to hide specific databases from that list. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudioFreak Posted February 4, 2004 Share Posted February 4, 2004 Why not avoid the File>Open>host completely. Create an opener file Which has buttons that are scripted to open the databases. If you put the same password on the opener file as the main files. The users will only be prompted for a password 1 time(when they open the Opener file). Much easier then opening them through the File>open>hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbies bermaster Posted February 5, 2004 Author Newbies Share Posted February 5, 2004 can this setting be applied remotely, through remote administration, or do I have to close the files on filemaker server, bring them into filemaker pro, reset the sharing to multi-user (hidden), then reopen them on filemaker server?

Addam Posted February 12, 2004 Share Posted February 12, 2004 One method is to add an underscore to the end of the file name like this: filename_.fp5 This will keep it from comming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
