Multifile custom apps

• Create identical accounts and passwords in each file in a FileMaker WebDirect custom app. When users enter the account and password for the first file, the information is used to authenticate related files. The fmwebdirect extended privilege must also be enabled for all privilege sets in all custom app files.

• Web browsers can't display fields from another file on a layout unless web users have access to that file as well. This limitation also applies to calculation fields that are based on field values from other files.

• When a custom app contains references to a protected related file that it is not authorized to access, web users cannot authorize access to the protected file in FileMaker WebDirect. Consequently, when web users open the custom app, the file does not contain any data from the protected file. To prevent this situation, use FileMaker Pro to authorize all files that reference protected files. See FileMaker Pro Help.
