February 28, 200719 yr I haven't found a way to open a database residing on a Windows XP 2003 server (FM Server is not installed on any of the computers) from client computers (Windows XP, FM 8.5 Pro/5 users) without additional user input. There is only one destination and only one database on the machine. Is there a way to automate this? Thanks.
February 28, 200719 yr Only way to automate it is to create an opener file to do this for you. Have a search through the forums for a decent explanation.
February 28, 200719 yr Not a good idea to run FMP files from shared network volumes. Lots of opportunity for data corruption.
February 28, 200719 yr Oh sorry, i assumed this was being hosted on an FMP client (Hence why i suggested the opener file). My apologies. Edited February 28, 200719 yr by Guest
March 3, 200719 yr Author The database resides on a unshared part of the server drive. The server itself runs FM Pro 8.5 (not server) and is set to share this on the network.
