Unable to see Hosts when Open Remote ...

[PatriciaW]

I have two Macs (one Snow Leopard and the other Leopard). The Leopard computer wants to have access to a FM6 database hosted on the Snow Leopard computer. However, when I attempt to Open Remote I never see the other databases. This used to work but since upgrading to SL on the Mac it no longer works. Any suggestions?

FM6 on Snow Leopard? I don't know how that's possible. It certainly isn't supported.

It may not be supported but it is working ... at least for this user.

Can you tell me more? I have a whole series of inter-related database files running in FM6 quite happily on my iMac G5 running OS X Tiger.

I need an answer to the question : "will FM 6 run in Snow Leopard on an Intel Mac?" It sounds from your experience as if it will, but I wonder if I could just ask you to run through a brief checklist to compare our use of FM 6?

1. I don't use any FM or external plug ins

2. I do use relationships quite a lot, but I guess most people do?

3. I do use scripting quite a lot in some files

4. I do use Calculation fields and Functions to some extent

5. I do use Container fields

6. I don't use Web publishing at all

Based on that (compared to your use of FM) do you think I would be able to export FM6 to Snow Leopard?
