How Do I Serve SeedCodeContacts for Multiple Users?
SeedCodeContacts is all set to be shared by multiple users. You can simply host the solution on your FileMaker Pro Server or on your FileMaker 8 host in a peer-to-peer environment. This file ships with Sharing turned “on” for “all users”, though your copy of FileMaker may have Network Sharing “off”.
To review these settings go to FileMaker / Sharing / FileMaker Network.
Note that we highly recommend using FileMaker Pro Server, even for small numbers of users. The data protection and backup utilities offered by FileMaker 8 Pro Server are simply invaluable. Furthermore, FileMaker 8 puts more of the work onto the server and, in a peer-to-peer situation (where there is no server), that work is sent to the host machine, often putting it under a very large load and decreasing performance for all users.
