Our software business templates come preset for multi-user environments. "Network Sharing" is turned on for all of our files in the solution. Therefore, all of the files are ready to network using Filemaker Pro. TCP/IP is a powerful way of networking your computers together. If you are running more than a few versions of Filemaker Pro, you should consider a dedicated Server to run the master files each day. Then, each user (having only a copy of Filemaker Pro on their computer (or Filemaker Go on their iPad) can Open up the "_Songtracker" file using the "Open Remote..." command from the "File" menu. This launches a script that opens all of the files in our system (see our Tutorials for more information).
We do not setup networks for customers so you may wish to employ the help of a local Filemaker network specialist to setup your system initially. If you are good with computers, it is not that difficult to setup, especially when you add the Filemaker Server software to administrate and backup your files automatically. If you are willing to read some of the Filemaker networking information, about how to setup a Filemaker network, you will find the process pretty straight forward and simple. Search for "Sharing database on a network" at their website (www.filemaker.com). Please follow the instructions you will find on their website and documentation for the best results.
