Exchanging data with runtime apps

[DaveMac]

I do not seem to be able to exchange information between a FMP File with a runtime app made with developer. As soon as I use any function from the runtime app that interacts with another FMP file (such as standard import function) the runtime app quits out as it seems to be able to support only one file. The error I get is that I have exceeded the maximum number of licences. During this process I need information to be imported both ways and records to be updated on both sides.

Are there any alternatives... help !!!

Export from the FM solution to CSV, import that CSV into the runtime?

[DaveMac]

As the data is coming from multi-tables the number of exports would be too many and too likely for error. Also records in the source database needs to be updated after export....

Your runtime app can only open DBs that you bound into the solution using the same binding key.

Assuming your trying to provide some "extra" to your solution can you make another "copy" file using the same binding key. Then your app will be able to handle the "extra" file.

You can, of course, open the bound file with a copy of FMP, so you caould also do it that way too.

Watch out for your file extensions.

That should do the trick... The main FMP file is going to be handled by FMP Server and I can use this to host the runtime app. Once these two separate solutions are bound.... presto !

Thank you so much...
