About this tag
FileMaker is a database platform that often requires careful configuration on Windows systems. Users discuss performance issues where FileMaker objects respond to single clicks instead of drags, suggesting system-wide input lag. Setting up a FileMaker database server on Windows Server involves decisions about RAID arrays, partitions, and licensing, including whether Client Access Licenses (CALs) are needed when FileMaker Server handles connections. FileMaker may not appear in the Start menu or uninstall list, and .fp7 file associations can fail on certain user accounts. Running 32-bit FileMaker on 64-bit Windows is possible through compatibility settings. Firewall rules must allow FileMaker to see remote databases on the network.

    Do I need CAL for my Windows Server 2016 Standard if it's used only for data sharing?

    Hi, We have a Windows Server 2016 Standard still in trial (a few days left) and I'm wondering if we need CAL for what we do with that server. We need Windows Server because of FileMaker Server, but no one is directly connected to the server. It's used for file sharing and FileMaker. There's 3...

    Windows 7 Program doesn't show

    A friend's computer appears to have Filemaker on it (much to our surprise) but it doesn't show in the list of programs in the start menu or in 'Uninstall programs. Why is this and how can I get it to do so? I have found the exe file and put an icon on the desktop.
