FileMaker 5 Unlimited accessing FileMaker Server 5

[chrismarriott]

This is very similar to a post already here - I have the same problem, but the answer did not come out in the other discussion on this topic.

I have FileMaker Server 5 with all of our data. It serves to our FM clients inside the office, and over TCP/IP for remote users.

I want to get FM Unlimited to open a FM Servered file and share it via the web companion plugin. This is not working.

I can not connect to any databases that FM 5 Unlimited has open that are being served from FM Server. All works well when a local file is open in FM U 5, but not a file being served.

The ultimate thing here is that I want to use Lasso to access my files on FM Server, through FM U. This can't happen if FM5 U isn't sharing databases that are served.

Any solutions? I'd love to hear them.

FMP Server can host files that are set up as Single-User. FMP Unlimited will only host files set up as Multi-User. Make sure that the files are set up to be Shared as Multi-User on the server.
