[Macpartners] FileMaker Pro - server needed?

[Cecilia Marra]

Hi Scott,

Your best plan of action would be to install FileMaker Server on dedicated machine and host the
database for use access that way.  It's a more reliable arrangement and also gives you the security
of SSL encryption for your data sharing across the network.

For more information, here are some self-help resources:

If you'd like to contact DCAD directly about configuring your database with FileMaker Server, send
an email to db-consult at mit.edu

Hope that's helpful!
Cecilia
