Opened Files don't appear in IWP Box

[nikosman]

Hi, All

Here's my setup

Win Server 2003 SP2 with FM Server 11 advanced with IWP enabled.

Win XP machine with FM pro 11 advanced.

When I open a file with FM pro via remote dialog and when I want to publish it, I get the settings Box but the file won't show where the Open Files list is.

I check the file as IWP and when I open the Home page in the Web Browser the file is there in the list.

I need some clear explanations because I have to make a Demo meeting with a client.

One info that might help.

All my DB was prepared on a Mac OSX and then uploaded on the win Server, can that be a cause?

Thanks for replying ASAP

Did you turn on IIS on the server?

Second, does the privilege set attached to the Account that opened the file have the fmiwp bit checked in Extended Privileges?

This is not clear to me... so you open the file in FMP, and what is it you want to do then? What menu selections do you make?

Hi,

I 'll try to be more clear.

The FMServer advanced has IWP enabled and the localhost is running fine.

On the client machine I open a database from the Server.

If I want to publish it on the Web Server, I have to give it "extended privileges" to access it via IWP.

Then under the menu: File> sharing> instant web publishing , I have a frame where I enable the IWP.

On the lower left part of the IWP frame , I should have the file that is open listed .

In my case there is no file listed but, when I enable the IWP radio button and close the dialog box, the file is added to the Web Browser home page.

I hope this time you have the info to study the case.

Thanks to all of you.

All you really need to do is to set the fmiwp bit in Extended Privileges before you put the file up on the server. Be sure you did not select the option to hide display of the file name.

What OAM said.

The "sharing" menu item in FileMaker Pro/Advanced has nothing to do with sharing files through Server or Server Advanced. That menu item is for peer-to-peer sharing only.

I want to thank OAM and Wim for their help.

By the , Wim I ordered your DVD for FM server 11.

Great material and nice way to learn the ins and outs.

Thanks again,

Nikos
