Is there a way I can create a shortcut using some kind of parameters so automatically connect to a specified server an open a specific file when FM opens?

there is no way I am going to be able to teach all 10 users that they have to go to file -> open remote, etc. to get to their file maintenance.

Just to clarify, I want FM to automatically connect to the server when it starts up, open a specific file, and ask the user for their auth info.

Somebody in another post suggested simply creating a shortcut to "fmnet:/192.168.1.167/new citycourt" but windows complains saying that is not a valid file name.

Help!

I'm on a Mac, and here's how I do it: I put this into my web browser...

fmp7://192.168.0.100/DatabaseFileName

Then I drag the "favicon" to my desktop and the computer creates for me a shortcut file.

I bet you could do this on Windows too.
