Instant Web Publishing Guide

About publishing FileMaker Pro databases on the web 9
1 On the web, scripts are always executed with Error Capture on. If your scripts relied on Error
Capture being disabled (off), they may not function the same way. Test your files thoroughly
after conversion.
1 Web users can now dynamically choose a layout view to work with data, toggling between Form
View, List View, and Table View. You can limit access to a view in the
Views of the Layout Setup
dialog box. For more information, see FileMaker
Pro Help.
1 FileMaker Pro clients can no longer host databases with Instant Web Publishing. The files must
be web published on the host computer.
1 It is no longer possible to specify the starting and ending points for a range of records in Table
View. Instead, you can specify the starting point and the next 20 records (or remainder of the
found set, whichever is smaller) are displayed.
1 Dynamic custom home pages are no longer supported with Instant Web Publishing. However,
you can link to an open database shared with Instant Web Publishing. For more information, see
“Linking to a database from an HTML page” on page 15.
1 The URL syntax has changed for web-published files. If you manually created a link to access a
database on the web, you must update the link after converting the file. For more information, see
“Linking to a database from an HTML page” on page 15.
1 The Web Security databases are no longer supported. If you relied on them for web-based
security, you must transfer the accounts, passwords and associated privileges into your converted
database files in FileMaker Pro.
1 Custom Web Publishing is not supported in FileMaker Pro. FileMaker Server Advanced provides
support for Custom Web Publishing, including the delivery of XML data, and other technologies.
