    Okay, Installed Filemaker Pro 5.0 and Installed Filemaker Server. Now, I'm at a seperate location trying to log into the filemaker Server so that I can run administrate the Optigold application from various places. However, I am unable to connect.

    We've got 5 offices in different parts of the city that I want to be able to access Optigold, but I can't figure out how they are supposed to log in to the filemaker server.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    I'm getting the error Can't find Mainmenu.fp5, so I'm not sure if I'm even doing this right. I've installed just the FP runtime and the workstation from the 337 installer, but I don't know how it's supposed to find the other computer. I've tried creating the network connection to that file, but still nothing.

    You cannot use the runtime in a network environment. You would need to use FileMaker Pro to connect to the database server.
