J-9 Posted September 19, 2001 Share Posted September 19, 2001 In the past, I have allowed my web users to access databases posted on FileMaker servers in the following way. I created a "fake" database whose only purpose was to open the "real" database on the FileMaker server. I put a hyperlink to the "fake" database on my webpage; my users are using Netscape 4.75. I know there are more elaborate ways to do this, but can anyone explain why, when clicking on the hyperlink, my users are now asked to save the "fake" database instead of having the "real" database opened?

David Head Posted September 20, 2001 Share Posted September 20, 2001 Sounds to me like a Helper preferences setting in your Netscape client - it is set to save rather than open the document that is linked to. Check your preferences for that filetype (.fp3 or .fp5). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-9 Posted September 20, 2001 Author Share Posted September 20, 2001 Under the Preferences | Application, FileMaker databases are set to be handled by the application (C:/Program Files, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
