MaxB. Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Hello, I have an inventory database on Filemaker Server 10. I am hoping to make a runtime solution that would act as a register program. Can I have this update my inventory database? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manjit Behera Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 No, you can't able to do so as during the run-time creation you need to select the files and there is no any option to select the server files. Secondly the run-time are no more pure database files so they cannot be host through the FM server. Thanks, Manjit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Manjit is correct that a runtime can not connect to hosted files or be the host. But FileMaker Server DOES have the capability to host runtime files. There is a configuration option under "Database Server" to register and host runtime files. When you do that, only clients with a copy of FM can access the files, runtime copies still can not access the hosted runtime files. For all intents and purposes, hosted runtime files are just like ordinary hosted filemaker files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your thread title says: "Can a runtime connect to a server?" The answer to this question is probably no. Then you have a completely different question in the body. Can you have a runtime solution out in the field collecting data and then get this data into the served solution? Sure you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxB. Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 I was kind of hoping that it would update in realtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
