Working with shared files as a client
As a client, you work with FileMaker Pro files in much the same way that you would as a single user, with these exceptions:
 •
 •
If your account’s privilege set prevents access to certain layouts or fields, you either can’t view those layouts or you will see <No Access> for each field instead of the field data.
 •

 •
To enhance your computer's performance, always close shared files you're not actively using. If you see a dialog box requesting that you close the FileMaker Pro file you're accessing as a client, comply immediately. The host may be trying to perform important maintenance.
