ThePopp Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 Not a good idea to run FMP files from shared network volumes. Lots of opportunity for data corruption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx Posted February 28, 2007 Share Posted February 28, 2007 (edited) Oh sorry, i assumed this was being hosted on an FMP client (Hence why i suggested the opener file). My apologies. Edited February 28, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePopp Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
