Binding for windows

[musicarteca]

I just moved from fm7 to fmP8 advanced. I am trying to bind a solution, I am able to bind it for OSX, but not for windows, I cannot figure out how to do it. Any clues?

Use a PC (or VirtualPC).

OK, so with that answer I imply that there is no way to bind to windows from a mac OS. Am I correct to think that this could be done before?

I don't believe so. All posts I have seen on this matter would indicate that this has always been the case

I came looking for the same answer to the same problem. In my manual, it says, "If your solution will be used in Windows, bind it using the Developer Utilities for Windows. If your solution will be used on Mac OSX, bind it using the Developer Utilities for Mac OSX."

Reading that led me to beleive that I COULD bind a solution for Windows, even though I'm working from a Mac.

Further in the book, it says something about, "if you developed your solution to run on both platforms..." (paraphrase - can't find the page).

But...refering to that first quote, I see nothing in my FM8Advanced about that, nor in Help.

I was under the impression that despite me working from a Mac, I could develope a runtime application for someone who wants (has already asked me!) a database to run on their PC.

You didn't read Vaughan's answer.

You can do this using Virtual PC, it is a Mac interface that allows you to use Windows

Whoops. Thanks, Lee. My fault I didn't see that. Thanks!

I actually use VPC with Win98, WinME and WinXP to generate my customer files. Works great, but fm5 is the ONLY one to use for Win98-ME. You can use fm5-8 for XP though.
