IWP not working on FMA 9.0v3

[Michael Maher]

I see a few other posts that could possibly be on this, but then may not be, so I'll put this as a separate post.

OS: Vista SP1, duel core.

FileMaker Advanced 9.0v3

Using localhost connection: IWP called through either Firefox 3 or IE 7 says no database available.

I had FMSA (which I actually did get to work once), so completely uninstalled that (took forever!). Then I did a repair on FMA. IWP still didn't work.

Uninstalled FMA and installed again FMA 9.0v1.

Bingo! IWP worked. Plus FMA didn't annoy me on opening with that message telling me someone else was using FM database on my machine - some such error message.

Updated to 9.0v3 and no IWP again. Plus those silly messages came again, (which on a converted database get really annoying as there are so many files).

Uninstalled and reinstalled back to 9.0v1 and all is working (or I should say I am finally working).

But what is curious is when I was connected to the organisational network, 9.0v3 IWP on localhost worked perfectly - and there were no annoying opening messages. I even had the FMSA still installed at that point.

If this is a bug, I have been unable to find anything so far on FMI site. Such an obvious problem should surely be reported. I may have missed some communiqué some place, and would appreciate any link to such.

Likely I have may have done something stupid, but as it works on one version and not the other...

Otherwise I suppose I'm paying for using Vista.

Hi

I have exactly the same problem. Is there a workaround to get IWP running? I don't have older versions of FileMaker and cannot switch back to v1 so that IWP would run.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.
