RJJOYE Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Currently useing v6 and sharing to about 8 person at once. 38 databases in all. We are currently file linking (6000+ current links) would like to start embedding adobe image files utilizing v7 large file size. 7 only allows 5 users at a time. We are useing our server for a windows server as well. My understanding is you have to turn off windows file srever to run server 7. I also run automation task every 10min, 2 hours etc using startup scripts. Will server 7 let you open databases. Server 6 would only let you serve them up. Any ideas??

CobaltSky Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 No, FileMaker Server 7 will not itself provide you with access to the files. However I have heard of some folks who host the files on server and then run a copy of FileMaker Pro on that same machine to access the files. I don't necessarily recommend this to you - I would prefer to open the files from client software on a different machine - but if you have some special reason for needing to do this it may be worth a try. Of course you will back up everything before you try out any new configuration, won't you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Officer Ron Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 if you do host with server 7 and run FMP7 on the same computer/server. Make sure you have lots of memory. 512Mb RAM minimum otherwise you computer will run extremely slooooooooooow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
