You could then have a bunch of menu buttons on the menu file that take the user to each of the other files (databases).

The alternative is to have your "menu" file located on the server and then put an icon (desktop or otherwise) on each user's PC that goes directly to the menu file. If you have a small number of users this isn't too difficult but if you have a large user base this can become unmanageable. You could have an individual "menu" file located on each user's PC but I'm not a big proponent of this method because anytime the menu changes you have to change every user's PC. Striker RE: Opening remotely from another database TStriker (Programmer) 27 Jun 07 08:47 I'll try to address your other questions a bit later tonight. Always use Filemaker's built-in sharing when more than 1 user is accessing the DB. The folks at Filemaker Inc have cautioned the users not to use OS level sharing at all as it can lead to corruption of the database. Once the database is closed then you will be able to open it directly and nobody else should access the file when it is in this state.įYI: I strongly recommend that nobody ever open a Filemaker File via a network share. If you need to work directly on a file you need to close the database using the Server Administration Tool (SAT). When you need to modify the file you should open via FILE > Open Remote (or a shortcut) like everyone else. Once the server has the file hosted you should no longer be accessing the file directly yourself. I assume that they are non-modifiable because you are trying to modify the file directly using regular OS level file sharing.
