8.5 freezes when opening remote

[arthurm]

Hello everyone, this is first time I've actaully posted anything here.

Strange problem here where FM crashes on attempting to start opening a remote file.

I have computer A set up FM 8 (not server) hosting a simple file, open and fm network settings 'on'.

I have computer B using FM 8.5 advanced attempting to open the file.

Every time I click the 'remote' button, or go file/open remote the programme feezes before dialogue box even opens.

Everything else appers fine. The link between the two computers is fine. I can open the file OK using FM7 instead of FM8.5 advanced (otherwise same setup).

I have reinstalled 8.5 advanced to no avail.

Mac 0S 10.4.9 on both machines.

I'm stumped!

Did 8.5 Advanced come with a developer license for FM Server? If it did, install Server and do some testing.

You might try dumping the FileMaker Pro 8.5A Prefs file.

Thanks, Vaughan.It didn't unfortunately, so can't go down that route.

Fantastic, thanks Ender. Worked a treat.
