Filemaker 8.5 Sharing to Windows Filemaker 10

[Andrew Robinson]

I have a mac running Filemaker Pro 8.5 sharing files to other mac users on FM 8.5.

 

I recently bought a PC running windows 8 and wanted to connect that to the Filmaker file, FM 8.5 wouldnt install on Windows 8 so I got hold of FM10. When you go to remote hosts it sees the mac running the FM file but shows no file to click on. If you try typing the exact URL in it says file is not found.

 

I also tried copying the actual filemaker file from the mac to see if it would open and run on the PC which it does with no problem.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

Have you enable the fmapp extended privilege, AND also made the file available to all users - see File > Sharing > FileMaker network.
