Depending on how FileMaker Network Sharing is configured on the host,
you might be required to enter an account name, password, and domain
name (Windows only).
Keep these points in mind:
1 If you have Show recently opened files selected in the General preferences,
files you have recently accessed appear in the File menu’s Open Recent list
and in the Recent Files list in the FileMaker Quick Start Screen. See Help
for information about adding local or remote files to the Favorite Files (local)
or Favorite Files (remote) list in the FileMaker Quick Start Screen.
1 To open and share a file, see “Enabling file sharing and hosting files” on
page 157.
1 You can open FileMaker Pro files created in Windows on a computer
running the Mac
OS, and vice versa. If you intend to move files across
platforms, it’s best to include the .fp7 extension in the filename. If you add
or remove filename extensions, you must redefine the FileMaker data
sources for related files and for files with external scripts.
1 You can set a default account name and password for a file in the Open/
Close tab of the File Options dialog box. When you do so, users
automatically log in using a specific account and password (if specified)
when they open a database. For more information, see Help.
