The Headache
in Development Standards

Featured Replies

Hi

Hope I put this in the correct forum, if not please excuse.

A while back someone told me you can design and save a solution with FM embedded invisibly behind the scenes so that your client wouldn't have to have FM installed on thier computer. It would be a stand alone application. Any truth to this? And if so how is this done?

Thanks.

It is a developer utility, and you need the Advance Edition of FileMaker. You are showing the Standard Edition in your profile.

Thanks Lee

I have 8.5 Advanced (Windows) at work. I will have to check it out.

FM embedded invisibly behind the scenes

Well, the runtime isn't exactly "invisible" in that IIRC there is a splash screen and a closing screen. But it is royalty free and cross platform.

Note that the runtime does not have all of the features of the client; notable exceptions are that it is single user (no multi-user shared databases) and no ability to save to pdf.
