PB@FBC Palo Alto Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Each time I launch FileMaker, my Mac starts to dial out via modem to my internet service provider. Each time, I click "CANCEL" and FileMaker continues to run just fine. I'm using FM Pro 6 stand-alone (no other users, no server) on a Mac G3 under OS 9.2. (OS 9 only because of other legacy apps that lack OS X drivers.) Question: What's making FileMaker keep trying to connect to the internet? Is this something in each file, or something in general preferences for FileMaker, or what? Problem: How can I stop it from doing that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve T. Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 Howdy, Palo Alto! Your comptuer might also be set to auto-connect whenever an internet connection is needed. You should be able to turn that setting off somewhere, too. I've never seen that behavior w/FM before but I always turn off the auto-connect stuff so maybe that's why... --ST Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob White Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 I have seen such behavior. The cause was that there was an Open File step in a startup script still pointed to a location remote either on the web or the in-house hard wire network AND the file had been moved either to the local machine or a different server. The fix was to edit the Open File step to point to the correct location of the file -- in this case in the local machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
