Editing external FileMaker data sourcesA FileMaker data source stores the file paths that FileMaker Pro searches to access an external FileMaker file, table, script, or value list.
1. File paths can be edited as text. Each FileMaker data source can consist of one or more file paths, separated by carriage returns. See Creating file paths.
4. Click OK.
• FileMaker does not recommend using an asterisk (*) as a wild card character in network file paths as it slows FileMaker network traffic. When possible, replace an asterisk with the appropriate IP address.
• Variables are not supported in FileMaker data source references.
