How can i embedd the link of published database on customized home page in mac machine besides putting it on the Web folder of the filemaker pro.

Hello, NM! I think IWP only lets you either use the built-in FM home page or a customized home page in the Web folder. You can copy/paste the url of your IWP first page as an ordinary HTML link but the page needs to be in the Web folder or otherwise hosted in a website somewhere. If you do not want that extra step as a welcome page, you can use a META REFRESH tag in the the header to redirect to your IWP url, but you still need to put the page in the Web folder, AKAIK.

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=url_to_your_iwp_site_here">

--ST

but still i don't know how i will give the path of the file i want to publish on the home page. i mean the format of writing the path of a file in Mac machine.
