OK i have this awesome database nice and working thanks to the people that helped me on this forum.

OK, so now that I'm done i would like to create a runtime of this database, because I'm leaving the country for an unknown period of time, (hopefully many years) and the people that work in my business don't know s**t about computers and i don't want to leave filemaker installed on this computer either. but after i have done it i found that runtimes don't have support for network.

after explaining that this is what i want to do.

Database Runtime on a computer (MachineA) that can be accessed from both computer in my gym (MachineA + MachineB) through wi-fi

thats all i want..

if someone takes the time to explain to me the process for doing this will become my friend and i would be forever thankful.

thank you.

Runtimes are not multi user as you found out. If you are worried about them making changes to the file due to having Filemaker installed on the machines, simply add new accounts with only one account having Full Admin rights.

An unusual question: how much data (how many fields maybe) needs to be shared between the 2 machines?

If you were able to have both machines running your finished Runtime, what kind of information/how much would need to be shared with the other machine?

Keep in mind what the last poster said about Runtimes not being multi-user compatible.....I just have a unique work-around that I've used with some runtimes that may be a possibility for your needs, but only if your shared data needs are not too complex or massive.

Your workaround could be very useful for me - please help.

my database its not complicated at all, its just mostly fields, attached is a screensho on what data needs be entered from computer a and what data needs to be entered on computer b
