Administering FileMaker Pro Server 3-5

Opening a FileMaker Pro file

When the FileMaker Pro Server service starts up, it automatically opens

all multiuser files in the FMServer folder (and subfolders one level

down). To open files after the service is running, you can open files

remotely in FileMaker Pro 3.0 in the Administer dialog box.

To host files using the Administer dialog box:

1. In FileMaker Pro 3.0, click Open Database in the Administer dialog box.

You see a dialog box with a list of FileMaker Pro files available

for hosting.

2. Choose a filename from the Select File list and click OK.

FileMaker Pro Server opens the file, and the filename appears in the

list in the Administer dialog box.

3. Click Done if you’re finished administering FileMaker Pro Server.
