Re: Filemaker Mobile 7 Unable to open database problem.

In FM 6, you must do the following:

Under the File Menu>Sharing>Companion Sharing dialog box>[x]Mobile Companion

You have to make sure the Mobile Companion is checked, or you get the error
message you described (if memory serves correct).

In FM 7, I'm not sure, but perhaps this might help.

message. I have granted full access to the guest account and to an
account that is the same as my palm user name. Both require no
passwords. The access list order is palmname and then the guest
account. No matter how I set them up I get the same message "Unable to
open database. Make sure the database exists on the desktop and
privileges are properly configured." These are my own databases about
100k in size and were created in Filemaker developer 7.0.3.

Does anyone have an idea of what I am doing wrong or is it a problem
with Filemaker?

TIA
