Not sure where to ask this, but it's database access, so here goes...

I'm going to have 10 in-office users accessing a central FM database (not Server) plus another 6 occasional users.

I'm assuming (not seen this happen yet!) they will all be using 'Open Remote'. Going to the menu or using the shortcut and being faced by FM's techie-looking connection dialogue box, doesn't seem to be a nice way for them to start the day. As they will always open the same 3 related databases, is there a way I can automate this process eg: by clicking on the databases, say in the Finder's Sidebar or Dock, they launch via 'Open Remote' without further request.

The easiest way is to give each user an opener file. This file contains a script that

• Allows the developer to override execution of the script by holding the shift key while opening (**VERY IMPORTANT**)

• Checks the version of the user's FileMaker client

• Opens the remote file

• Closes the opener file

The script should be set to be run at startup

Open DB.fp7.zip

Thanks very much. That sounds ideal.

You know Filemaker Pro only supports 9 concurrent users?

Strongly recommend you get FileMaker Server.
