Once a shared file is open, the host and clients have access to the same information, and all changes to the file 
appear in each user’s window.

Changes to the data, scripts, or layouts made by any user are saved in the shared file. The shared file is saved on 
the disk where the file resides.

Sort orders, find requests, import and export field orders, and print settings are specific to each user.

To enable FileMaker network sharing:

1. Open Sample Copy.fp7.

To enable or change a file’s sharing status in your own files, you must open them with an account that 

has Manage extended privilege set access privileges. You will learn about accounts, passwords, and 
privilege sets in lesson 12. 

2. Choose File menu > Sharing > FileMaker Network.

3. In the FileMaker Network Settings dialog box, for Network Sharing, click On.

In the TCP/IP Address box, you see the TCP/IP address of your system.
