I can only see five of the six files that are being hosted on our server. I can manually load the missing file but it does not appear on the list when I browse the server.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Check the file's Sharing...FileMaker Network settings. There's a checkbox for "Don't display in Open Remote File dialog."

Yes, it was a file sharing setting that the client changed. Thanks.

I just had this issue in FMPA10 on Win7. I had two computers both on the same network, both Win7 one had no problem opening files on a remote host, and one that couldn't see any of the shared files. I copied the ssl file from the working computer to the other computer and the problem was fixed.

Big thanks to Rick Stringer for finding this thread!

We just had this problem last week. We had our FM expert run this down for us.

Evidently there's a "bug" in FM 9. You have to set the date on the computer back to before 2008, THEN install FM 9. Then set the computer back to the correct date.

Here's the write-up
