Default Filemaker Server 8 ( MAC ) Questions. - 04-27-2007 , 07:34 PM






Hi All,
1. Does a database opened in FM Server run the script that's defined
in the File Options Open/Close window?
2. Is there a way to display to the Client , what FM application
version is hosting the file?

Thanks in advance
Vincent

That works exactly the same way it does if the solution was loaded
from a local disc instead of FM server. So the open script runs
anytime it would normally run.

Get(ApplicationVersion) gets the version of the client accessing the
file.

If you want the version of the application that is hosting the file,
no I don't think there is any easy way to know. But usually that isn't
something that changes much, so you could just put it in a preferences
table, or global, or something.

cheers,
Dave

That's interesting - I can't seem to get the open script to run when
FM Server
opens the file.

FM Server doesn't run the script. The script is run when FM opens the
script. In this situation think of FM server more as remote file share
instead of a running instance of filemaker. (In truth its a bit of
both, but for this particular situation the remote file share metaphor
is suitable.)
