FMP scripts must not impede operations    
In the interests of all using FMP database hosting services, the FMP programmer must ensure that no operation of the database could possibly impede operations or result in lengthy response times.
Whilst FileMaker databases are stored on and serviced by an FMP Server, web requests to FMP database are fielded via an FMP Client application. As a shared hosting service, Access Net takes the utmost care in ensuring that no single FileMaker Hosting client can adversely affect other hosted databases. Whilst Access Net provides a review of each database prior to mounting, clients are advised to perform their own database review prior to submission. A sound review by the client reduces the leadtime in making databases available and 'on the web'.

The FMP programmer must ensure that no operation of the database could possibly halt operations or result in lengthy response lead times. Specifically, there must be:
- No dialogue boxes issued,
- No pauses
- No halts
- No lengthy Sort, Replace or Find operations.

TODAY Today must not be specified in any field calculation.

The FMP programmer must ensure that Finds are always scripted using:
- Allow User Abort (on)
- Set Error Capture (on)
- .... commands ending with....
- Perform Find
- If (status(currenterror)

Where relational database is employed, the FMP programmer must ensure that the required data is accessible at the time.

A penalty charge of up to $500 may be applied should, in Access Net's opinion, the programming did not take reasonable precautions to avoid impeding responsiveness of Web/Database server operations.

As a precaution, FMP Hosted databases including representative data content, must be submitted to Access Net Web/FMP for specialist review of web serviceability. Costs are $75 per 15 mins plus $33 per 15 minutes thereafter.
