Hi guys, I'm currently new in this great forum!

I have a filemaker "business tracker" running in my Mac and I want to share the database to another users in my network. I decided to activate IWB feature and after login in as a user over the intranet I only see the page "catalog"...

How can i share all the entire "business tracker" solution (invoicing, companies, contacts, etc..) ?

I've been looking around my filemaker and I couldn't found any way to make it..!

I'm running:

File Maker Pro 9

Mac OS X 10.4.11

Thanks and Regards,

Rafa

IWP solutions (with a P) are unfortunately not developed the same way as peer to peer or server served solution. It usually take trice the time to develop an IWP'ed solution to provide near native touch and feel, due to quite a handful of grayed out script-steps, which doesn't work under IWP.

If you should have "Business Tracker" up flying in multi user environment unmodified, are you going to buy licenses for each user, with fm9 can you share a solution with 8 other licenses, where the 9th is server for the rest of the team. But usually is it solved with a server version of filemaker when workgroups gets that size.

What you might not yet have realized is that filemaker niche in the software world, not really is a RAD for foilwrapped solutions, since the standalones you make is single user only:
