Hi there,

I'm trying to publish a file locally with IWP that is hosted on filemaker server 8 in the same building on the same network.

The file opens fine using open remote. However when I try to enable IWP, the file is not listed. i can't enable it in the IWP preferences because it doesn't show there. None of the other files open that are served by filemaker server 8 appear either. IWP works fine for local files on my own machine.

Can anyone help? I'm trying to do this to test whether publishing the data to remote users would be of any help to them. I'm reluctant to spend the £1000 to upgrade server 8 to server 8 advanced so need to test it first.

Second question. Is there any way to publish filemaker 8 data to the web live without filemaker server 8 advanced?

Thanks heaps,

dave

If the file is hosted by Server 8 then you need FMS 8 Advanced to web publish.

Basic FMP 8 can host files to 5 IWP users, but you cannot re-host the file by opening through remote - I tried that too!

*******, *******, *******.

ok thanks for the help.

any ideas how to serve databases without coughing up for advanced?
