Filemaker Pro 9 (Mac) : How do I get it to deal with absolute paths?
- by Bernd Haug
I have an installation where FM Pro 9 clients open a solution from an FM Server 9.
This solution then needs to access files on a network share from the clients. So far, the network share was mounted with AFP, but an infrastructure change required it to be switched to static NFS mounts.
Their boot Volumes may have different names, but they all mount an NFS share at the same mount point in the "real" mount tree (starting from the UNIX root dir, /).
According to http://www.filemaker.com/help/html/create_db.8.32.html#1030283 it looks like there is no way to just use a full path without having a volume name as if this was Mac OS classic - is there some way to work around this?
Upgrading to a newer FileMaker is not a sought solution.
