Closing shared files
If you’re a host, you can close the files you’re hosting. If you’re a guest,
you can close your connections to shared files.
Important Leave FileMaker Pro by choosing Exit from the File menu. If
you turn off your computer without exiting the program, you can
damage open files and lose your changes.
1. Choose Close or Exit from the File menu.
2. If you’re a host and guests are connected, click Ask in the Ask
dialog box.
Note You see this dialog box whenever you perform a task that
requires all guests to close their connections to the file. See “Working
with shared files” on page 7-5.
Guests see a message asking them to close the file. If guests click
Close Now, FileMaker Pro closes the file. If the guests don’t respond
to the message and the file can be closed safely, FileMaker Pro closes
it in 30 seconds.
