barbapapa Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Hi, I'm new to FMP and have developed template that I want to share in a group shared folder on an OSX environment. However, whenever anyone (other than the person who placed the template into the group shared folder) attempts to access the file they get a read only message at the intro and when they attempt to input data they get "field not modifyable". I've tried playing with the options under sharing (tcp/ip) to no avail. Is there a quick fix? Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Søren Dyhr Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 You're about corrupt you file beyond repair!!! Filemaker explicitly disuade operatingsystem filesharing ...because a concurrent protocol - filemakers own, tries to maintain the database. A filemaker solution should reside in a folder pulled out of OS filesharing, and instead either be opened via the host button or an opener: http://www.fmdeveloper.com/downloads/Opener.pdf Filemaker have chosen this approach to make a slimmer and more dedicated protocol, to provide the responsivenes a standalone solution would have when fidling with scrollbars and other means that's likely to change the rendering of the layout to reflect actual actions in the remote database. So - stop this silly idea before you regret you ditched the backup... --sd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
