Preparing files for a runtime solution (FileMaker Pro Advanced)
• Let users open auxiliary files: In the runtime application, there are no menu options to open files. If you want users to open auxiliary files, you must provide a button or script in your solution to perform this operation. In each auxiliary file you can also place a button or startup script that returns users to the primary file.
• Let users modify the database: Unless your runtime database solution files are password-protected, users can open and modify the files in FileMaker Pro or FileMaker Pro Advanced. You can also make your files permanently unmodifiable. See Removing Admin access to databases (FileMaker Pro Advanced).
• Provide updates for your users: You can make it easier for users to update your runtime database solution files by providing scripts in your primary file to export their data and import it into the updated solution.
• Let users perform spell checking on records: You can change the main spelling dictionary language for your database solution by choosing one from the dictionaries supplied with FileMaker Pro Advanced. Your users can add or modify a user-defined dictionary to the runtime application.The Manage External Data Sources dialog box lists the data sources in the current database. Be sure that for each FileMaker data source, there is a reference in the File Path that is to the filename only, without any folders. The data source will look like this: file:MyFile.fmp12. See Connecting to data sources for more information.Tip You may want to put multiple tables in one file to avoid problems with FileMaker data source references.
