While it’s good to see this fixed this “default” has never worked for all machines, so refer to our instructions here if the fmp:// protocol isn’t working after you install 18. This was omitted in FileMaker 17 and users who installed 17 found fmp:// trying to open FileMaker 16 (or the last version of FileMaker on that machine before 17). FileMaker 18 now sets the default protocol for you when you install FileMaker 18. It’s great to see FileMaker reinvesting in the FMP URL and in web viewer apps in general.įileMaker changed two things about the FMP URL in FileMaker 18:ġ.

You can now specify a version-specific URL like “ fmp18:///Clients.fmp12?script=ListClients” For developers who often find themselves working in two versions of FileMaker at the same time (versions 17 and 18, for example), this will make web viewer apps like DayBack and Pro Maps confine their URL calls to the version that opened the file (at least for versions 18 and higher). The newest version of FileMaker also makes some significant changes to the way FMP URLs are managed.

All current SeedCode products are compatible with FileMaker 18.
