Johnny777 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Hi everybody I have placed a file in Filemaker server, but when I try to access it from a remote computer it does not show up in the open remote command. There are several other files in there which all show under open remote. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong The tick box "do not show in open remote" is definetely unticked Thanks very much in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Did you turn sharing on for the files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_vodka Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 (edited) and it is definately, sucessfully being hosted by the server correct? If not then try the methods described here for troubleshooting.

Johnny777 Posted April 3, 2007 Author Share Posted April 3, 2007 Hello Thanks for your answer when you say "definetely, successfully being hosted by the server correct" what exactly does that mean and how do I check it I had look at the server troubleshooting as suggested and the suggestions were to compact the files and try again - but what do I compact them as. The other suggestion is to check whether my server allows a definite number of files to be hosted but how do I do that and if that were the problem why is it that I have been able to copy the file to the server data files What would be useful here is if someone could give the correct procedure to move a file to the server - I basically dragged it into the server from a different machine ie an alias Hope all that makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_vodka Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Meaning, when you are using the FMS Admin Console, and are trying to open the files, do they open properly... Do the file show up as Normal status?? I am assuming that you have put it in the correct either default directory or specific path that you have designated in the Admin tool.

Johnny777 Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hello The status did not show up as normal it showed up as closed in the FM console I have now opened it and it is showing in open remote Why does it always have to be something ridiculously simple. Anyway big thanks to Mr V for his patience John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
