Network Sharing in FileMaker Pro 8.5 February 6, 2007
Posted by Dan Stuchbury in : FileMaker Pro , trackbackAt first I thouht it was just me, but having visited a client last week who had just installed FileMaker Pro, I started to think it was some sort of bug. Network sharing doesn’t work in FileMaker 8.5 & 8.5 Advanced, which is a major pain, and may end up costing this client of ours a FileMaker Server licence.
We’re both using the latest release, and it seems that other 8.5 users are having the same problem - there is a thread about it on FMForums. The only workaround is to host files using FileMaker 8, but that defeats the object - as none of the 8.5 features will be available. I’ll be suggesting this to our client, but I don’t know how easy (or otherwise) it is to get hold of version 8 nowadays.
FileMaker, if you’re reading this - FIX IT! Please 
I’m going to talk to FileMaker Support and see if they have a solution, and will post here if they respond positively.
