Is there any way to open hosted databes to filemaker pro 5 by command line.

Example:

Filemaker pro.exe -open tuotetilaukset.fp5 (could open server hosted file tuotetilaukset.fp5)

Or even command like:

Filemaker pro.exe -open tuotetilaukset.fp5 -open c:kanta.fp5

??

I need this to/for my Visual Basic solution

In FMP 5.5 you can use the URL specification for a file:

fmp5://12.34.56.78/filename or possibly:

file://12.34.56.78/filename (not sure about this one)

I'm no Windows expert and know even less about VB, but I am unaware that FMP supports any form of command line request. Maybe you should try to launch the file via the OS, rather than FMP.

Can you apply this technique ?

Put a test database (test.fp5) or even a shortcut to the database on c:

All you need to do is open a command prompt and type the file or shortcut name c:test.fp5

As long as the location of the FM database is in the normal path statement there is no need to put the path to the FM executible - your issue is more complicated if the database is password protected.
