Binding solution files 2-19
What happens during binding
When you click the Finish button (Windows) or the Bind button
(Mac OS), FileMaker Pro Binder performs the following activities:
1 saves a copy of the solution files into the folder specified in the
fifth panel
1 updates the solution files with binding options, such as adding
three-character extensions or renaming menu items
1 generates a runtime application
1 binds the runtime application with the specified solution files
When the binding process has been successfully completed, you see a
dialog box updating you on the status of your runtime solution.
