Sharing databases on a network | 161
Opening shared databases remotely using a URL
The FileMaker Pro installer registers FMP7 as an internet protocol. This
enables you to open a shared database using a URL.
Clients can use a browser to access shared databases by entering the URL of
the shared file on the host machine in a browser’s address area.
To identify the URL for the shared database on the host machine and send it to
a client user:
1. In the shared file on the host machine, choose File menu > Send Link.
FileMaker Pro opens an email message in your default email application
that contains the URL for the current database, plus client connection
requirements.
2. Address the email message to the client user, then send the message.
