My office uses a product developed in File Maker Pro 5.5. We are running FMP Server 5.5v2 on Mac OS X 10.1.4. We encounter a particular problem when using a Mac OS X client. I have spoken with the vendor and they have duplicated the problem and verified that it only occurs when both the Mac OS X client and server are running FMP 5.5. This happens with both 5.5v1 and 5.5v2, and under various version of Mac OS X.

Problem: There is a database file named Contacts and it will not automatically open. When the client attepts to open this automatically the user is presented with an option to open the file manually. Manually opening does work, but makes it unrealistic to move my users to Mac OS X.

Has anyone heard of anything like this happening?

I've had the same problem with a file named Library. I renamed the file and it would open normally. The down side of this: I had to reestablish all the relationships to this file.
