Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / February 2005Filemaker 7 and Sharing under OSX
I just upgraded a Filemaker database from FM6 under OS9 to FM7 under 10.3.8, and the database won't share. Under 9 (even with FM6/OSX clients), the Hosts buttons brings the database right up. Under 10.3.8, the Remote button (which replaced Hosts) sees no databases. I tried web publishing, and that did make the databases available... sort of. It prompts for a password I've never seen. I'm stumped. Ideas welcome. -K- > I just upgraded a Filemaker database from FM6 under OS9 to FM7 under > 10.3.8, and the database won't share.

I haven't got a copy here with me, so sorry if some of this sounds vague. Filemaker 7 is a whole different kettle of fish re. sharing. In one of the menus (either 'File' or 'Edit') is a sharing option, here you get to say whether or not the file is open for sharing and also by whom. Somewhere in there (one of the 'Define' options I think) you get to set users and groups and set password. It should tell you what the default is. When I get to work on Monday I'll have a better look at this for you and post back.

You may want to ask this question in comp.databases.filemaker SignatureTara |
