When I access the FileMaker Technical Info Database and I save the source page on my disk I can access it locally by using the following link "file:///Macintosh/Desktop%20Folder/techinfo.htmlnk"(the file is on my desktop). It works great. No need to use the "http://" URL.

When I try to do the same thing using a my local HTML file accessing my own database hosted locally I get an error message "Format File Not Found..."

When I use the file via an "http://" URL it works no problem

I have looked at the HTML code of the FMP TID file and modified the "Form" tag of my file accordingly.

Any idea why it does not work. I use FMP5 and Web Companion.

Thanks

I might be mixing things but the reality is that I just tried the same thing by hosting my database on a "FMP hosting" service company and tried to access it using a "local file", one on my hard disk. It works just great. But it refuses to work when I host the database on my computer using Web Companion?:?

Still trying to find out why...

You are mixing two things:

1. File access -- most files can be opened in browser

2. HTML access -- that is specifying the transport stuff between two points, browser and HTTP server.

HTH

Possibly your local setting is wrong and their is OK. Or you are not connecting from browser to your machine correctly via TCP/IP.
