My pleasure.

In order to share a solution or FileMaker 13 file through a web browser via
WD or to FMGo client - you will HAVE to have FIleMaker Server, and min 5
user pack if more than 1 user.

A FileMaker Pro "client" can still do peer to peer with other FMP clients
(5 max) and allows ODBC/JDBC connections sans the FM server.
