Using the Calendars Over a Network or the Internet

FileMaker Database Calendar

The easiest way to use this Calendar over the Internet or a TCP/IP network is as follows. This method does NOT involve the use of a web browser such as Netscape or Microsoft Explorer. The calendar must be running on a computer (host) that has Internet access or on a TCP/IP network. Anyone (guest) wanting to access the Calendar must have the FileMaker application and Internet access or on the network. The host and guest computers must set the Network protocol to TCP/IP in the FileMaker Application preferences and restart FileMaker. Anyone wishing to access the Calendar would need to open the FileMaker application, go to Open under the File menu, select Host on the dialog box, click on Specify Host, type in the IP address of the host computer and click on Open. The Calendar should then be visible in the dialog box. Select the Calendar and click on Open. The calendar will look and work just as if it were on your very own computer.

Please feel free to call if you have any questions about either method.

Thank you,
