Sending the URL of a shared database
If the database you are using is shared, you can give other FileMaker Pro users access to it by sending a URL link to the file via email. Email recipients who have FileMaker Pro installed can open the database from the email message you send.
The URL uses the following format:
[<][URL:]FMP://[[account:password@]netaddress]/databasename[>]
To send a URL link to the shared database by email:
1.
Important  Make sure sharing settings provide user access to the file. Choose File menu > Sharing, choose the type of network access you are using, select All users or Specify users by privilege set, then click OK.
2.
Choose File menu > Send > Link to Database.
3.
An email message opens. The message contains the link to the shared database and includes some requirements for opening the link.
4.
Notes
 •
If you don’t have an email client on your computer, the URL link appears in a dialog box. To record the link, copy it to your clipboard and paste it in an application that accepts text.
