16 Getting started with FileMaker Pro in Mac OS X
Accessing databases that are published to the Web
When you publish a database to the Web, your users access that database by entering the host
machine’s URL in their web browser. If the FileMaker Pro Web Companion is configured to use
port number 80, the default port, the URL your users will enter will look like this:
http://12.34.56.78/
The number “12.34.56.78” is an example; in its place, your users would enter the actual URL of
your host machine.
If the FileMaker Pro Web Companion is configured to use a port number other than the default,
the URL your users will enter will look like this:
http://12.34.56.78:1024
Again, the number “12.34.56.78:1024” is an example; your users would enter the actual URL of
the host machine, followed by a colon (“:”) and the port number specified in the FileMaker Pro
Web Companion Configuration dialog.
For more information on accessing FileMaker Pro databases on the Web, see chapter 14 of the
User’s Guide, “Publishing databases on the Web.”
Using FileMaker Pro 5.5 Help in Mac OS X
The information in FileMaker Pro 5.5 Help is the same in Windows, Mac OS 9.x or earlier, and
Mac OS X. However, in Mac OS X, FileMaker Pro 5.5 Help is part of the Mac OS X Help Center.
