I have my main solution on computer 1. My secretary has hers on computer 2. The tables I need to link to 1 from 2 are on the Relationships Graph of 1. I have no need for a reverse link (ie from 2 1 to 2).

This work just fine if 2 is turned on before 1. The problem occurs if 2 is not yet on when 1 starts, as well as when 2 wants to close while 1 is still on.

I apologize for the confusing explanation. Is there any way to manage this situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Fed

Yes, put both files onto one computer, and open them both using the Open Remote command.

That is exactly what I am trying to avoid.

Is there any other way?

Not sure what exactly you expect. You want to access a file on a computer that's turned off?

I would like to access a table on another computer (in FMP) in such a way that the other computer can be turned on or off at will. I would expect to access the table only when the other computer is tuned on and the database turned on as well.

I'll try to put it another way:

Is there a way to disconnect from an external table without closing your main solution?
