I have been an amateur Filemaker user for years and run my chiropractic office on a database I built starting in FM5.
I am using 2 computers, one opens the file using FM11 and one opens it remotely FM 10.
The system always worked flawlessly but recently the network loses communication with the host spontaneously and I have to re-open the database from the remote location.
I’ve checked my security software and replaced my router and all three switches the office uses but the problem still exists.
Sometimes connectivity is lost every few minutes and after several times re-opening the database from the remote computer it will say not enough memory to open the database (I am using a core i7 processor, windows 7 professional and one of the two has 12GB ram and the other, 18GB). Sometimes I receive an error message stating the maximum number of licensed users are already using the software and it shuts filemaker down on the remote computer. (Both computers have licensed software) The only way to re-open the database on the remote computer is to shut down filemaker on both computers and reopen the database then re-open from the remote location.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it????
I really appreciate the input from the group as many of the conversations here have shed light on using the system better.
I’d appreciate any feedback anyone has.
Thanks.
