Summary

Product

FileMaker Server

Version

FMS11

Operating system version

Description of the issue

Some, but not all of the files in my database are showing up on the open remote dialog. They are all similar and I can't see any reason for this to be happening. I tried to close and then reopen them. I also tried to remove them and then reinstall them. In the end only a few files show up on the list.

Steps to reproduce the problem

The problem occurs on every workstation in our location.

Exact text of any error message(s) that appear

none

Ann Krause:

Thank you for your post.

It's not clear if these files used to display, but not longer display in the Open Remote dialog box.

Close one of the problem files in FileMaker Server, and open it with FileMaker Pro. Pull down the File menu and select "Sharing -> FileMaker Network...". In the next dialog box, select the file and make sure network access is not set to "No users". In addition, below that, make sure the option "Don't display in Open Remote File dialog" is unchecked. Otherwise, this will not show under Open Remote. Once done, click OK, close the file, move it back to FileMaker Server and open it. Then, try to access it remotely through Open Remote.

Please keep me updated.

Thank you so much for that rapid response!! That was the problem and it would have been a long time before I would have remembered I had to do that.
