ShosMeister Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I'm doubting this, but, I have a potential client that has contacted me with a problem. They have a FMPro solution they are running (v7) within their office. To save the costs of having a full version of FMPro on the 4 machines they have, they opted to have the application developed into a runtime solution. No problem. The problem is, the copies of the source files has been corrupted and they needed to make some changes to the database. Is there a way of recovering them from the runtime? In other words, can I use the developers package (or some other utility) and extract out the structure and such from the runtime package to re-create the source files?

IdealData Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 It depends whether the developer level capabilities have been removed from the original files. You can open the runtime file with FMP and you regain all the functionality again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShosMeister Posted November 18, 2006 Author Share Posted November 18, 2006 So you are saying that if all I have is the runtime file, depending on how it was compiled/packaged, I may be able to open that file with FMPro Developer and be able to get back to full access and make the necessary changes? That would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IdealData Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 Once again, only if the developer access has not been removed. As it sounds like this was an internally developed system then there would have been no need to remove the dev level access. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Phil Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 If you look here you will find that even files with admin level removed can have it replaced. http://fmforums.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/182082/post/229339/hl// This guy could earn a fortune with that capability.

comment Posted November 19, 2006 Share Posted November 19, 2006 Yes, I've seen that too, and it's very disturbing. I wish we could have Steven Blackwell's opinion on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
