Is it possible to make a stand-alone multiuser database using FM developer
5.5

Every time I tried, I always had the message "the file is single user or the
host canot be found"

Any help is appreciated

Yes you can do, bt it's not easy...

You can't do it directly from FM Developer and "RunTime"...

Try this:

You have one "client" program working with an local databas - export data to
an server folder.

On the "server" ther are an application checking in the folder for the
exportfile and import it to the master database.
The masterdatabase maks an export to the folder.

The client checks for "import files" from the server application and update
records in the local database...

One import file and one export file for every client.

No.

That would be because stand-alone apps are not multi-user.

For multi-user, every client needs to have a coopy of FileMaker.
