Warning Anyone who opens a database file with the Export records
access privilege, including FileMaker Pro guests, can then publish the
database on the Web by enabling FileMaker Pro Web Companion. In
this case, your database is protected over the Web by any FileMaker
Pro access privileges. However, you should exercise caution when
granting access privileges. For more information, see chapter 11,
“Publishing files on the Web.”
