August 6, 200817 yr I have a database on FM Network. The users access the files by clicking on the FM icon on the desktop then choose "Open Remote" from the File menu. Is there a script or an easier way to access the files? I would like to have an icon on the desktop and when clicked it accesses the files. Thanks.
August 6, 200817 yr This is exactly what opener files are used for. There is an extensive discussion here.
August 6, 200817 yr You can also use a simple URL shortcut. To get your database URL with FileMaker 9, use the send link menu item and copy from generated e-mail. It begins with fmp7:// Then to create a shortcut : On Windows right-click on desktop and select New/Shortcut On Mac : open Safari, type the url without validating, drag and drop the url to desktop (I didn't find a more obvious way of doing it) HTH Edited August 6, 200817 yr by Guest
