MIKE #1 / 6	web questions Currently we are using 5 unlimited for our db on the web. We are going to redo are whole thing because are boss doesn'yt like the way it looks. But your pretty limited to what you can do with the web companion. I have ordered Lasso and dremweaver to help with design part on the web.(Which I have no idea on how to use) I'm also looking at getting 5.5 unlimited. Do I need the developers edition??? I'm basically looking on giving me more room to work with the design of 5.5 on the web. Any suggestions???? MIke

John Weinshe #2 / 6	web questions In terms of design, the only advantage of 5.5 over 5.03 is (and it is quite remarkable, actually) in the Instant Web Publishing. Dis-enable it to allow for the full variety of custom page design, availabe via CDML, Lasso and either Go Live or Dreamweaver. The Developer Edition has nothing to do with the WC (its main uses are for building stand alone apps, and/or files with their code "removed"). Unlimited is the same thing as FMP (client), but allows full deployment (normal FMP is limited to a few TCP/IP hits per day), and, while it is necessary for actually hosting a web site, is not necessary for development. Neither Developer 5.5 nor Unlimited 5.5 have been released as yet. -- John Weinshel Datagrace Associate Member, Filemaker Solutions Alliance Vashon Island, WA (206) 463-1634 Quote: > Currently we are using 5 unlimited for our db on the web.

You are limited if you use the Instant Publishing option - see http://bull.ucc.usyd.edu.au/ for some databases done using Custom Publishing.

Learn CDML first. Dreamweaver is just a graphical HTML editor, although a very good one. Quote: > I'm also looking at getting 5.5 unlimited. Do > I need the developers edition??? No. See: http://heifer.ucc.usyd.edu.au/cdf_faq/FMPro?-db=cdf_faq.fp5&-lay=main... Quote: > I'm basically looking on giving me more > room to work with the design of 5.5 on the web. Any suggestions???? Also see http://bull.ucc.usyd.edu.au/fm_doit/ - aimed at 4.1, but the setup is broadly applicable to 5 as well... Cheers Webko

gwmbo #4 / 6	web questions But is the Unlimited version limited to the number of TCP/IP connections at all, even if it is high? And in saying that if I produce a 5.5 DB via the web does that mean none of those users accessing it ned teh FMP client installed on their PC?

Via the web - they never have. 4.x has no limit, 5.x has no limit (in the Unlimited version)... Webko

gwmbo #6 / 6	web questions I just thought I read somewhere on this ng that even though it says unlimited it actually still has some limits. Ok so what I want to do is be abel to create a solution using unlimited (v5.5), then make it available via the web - using the companion built in - and then have 400+ people access it - with no need to have FMP on their PC or MAC - is that right? What about developer - is that unlimited, ie I develope a solution using developer make it avail via teh web and of we go with 400+ users And whiel I am at it if I have a P3 900 running NT4sp6 with 256MB ram how well would that run with concurrent users of up to 400 browsing records and about 30 editing records?
