Filemaker Pro 10 TU693LL/A Benutzerhandbuch

You can share data over a network using FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Server, or via the internet using Instant 
Web Publishing. You can also share data by importing it into FileMaker Pro files from other applications or 
exporting it from FileMaker Pro files to other applications.

In this lesson you will learn:

how to enable network sharing of FileMaker Pro files

how to import data into a FileMaker Pro file

 You can share FileMaker Pro databases on your network, which allows up to 

nine FileMaker Pro users to access and use the same database file simultaneously. If you need to share files 
with more than 9 concurrent users on a network, you can use FileMaker Server to share files, which provides 
greater networking performance and allows up to 250 users to access a file simultaneously.

 You can publish FileMaker Pro layouts as web pages, which allows anyone with 

a web browser on your intranet (or the internet) to access your FileMaker Pro databases.

 You can exchange information between FileMaker Pro and other 

applications by importing and exporting data. For example, you can import data that is in another database 
or spreadsheet program, or export address data in order to create personalized form letters with a word 
processing program. When you import or export data, the data is copied to the destination file, not shared 
between the applications.

If your computer is connected to a network, you and other FileMaker Pro users can use the same database 
file simultaneously. 

Your FileMaker Pro licensing agreement requires that you purchase a license for each separate 

computer on which the FileMaker Pro application is installed. Each software license may not be shared or 
used concurrently on different computers. The first person to open a shared file is the host. Any user who 
opens a shared file after the host is a client.
