Open files for Hosting?

In an application which has been converted to FM7 from FM6 how do I ensure that the data files are properly opened so that the correct machine hosts them?

Is Open File (hidden) sufficient?

The reason I ask is that the user of FM6 was told that just opening the files was not sufficient and had a whole procedure for clicking on every layout to ensure that all files were hosted correctly.

I have read elsewhere that in FM7 locking does not happen just by opening a file (it requires entering data into a field on a table), so I want to be sure that I have the correct procedure (especially since I have modified the application to use the separation model.)

Such contrivances are not required for FMP 7 solutions. Files can be accessed without windows being open for them, unlike FMP 6 on Windows.

Make sure each file has a startup script that does everything. This script when setup will run when the first window of the file is opened.

What does this mean ... "does everything"? That was the essence of my question ... by that do you mean just a series of "Open Files"?
