FILEMAKER FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 101
Description
Returns the IP address of the host machine for the current database. If the current database isn’t
being hosted, an empty string is returned.
If IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are available for remotely hosted files, the address is returned in the
most common or default format. This might not be the same format that was used when connecting
to the host.
If the current calculation is stored and you specify its context, this function will be evaluated based
on that context; otherwise, it will be evaluated based on the context of the current window.
Note For information on how functions evaluate differently on the host versus the client, search the
FileMaker Knowledge Base available at
www.filemaker.com/kb.
Examples
Returns one of the following when the current database is being hosted:
IPv4: 14.156.13.121
IPv6: [2001:0DB8:85A3:08D3:1319:8A2E:0370:7334]
Note If the host machine has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, Get(HostIPAddress) returns only the
IP address that the client used to connect to the host.
