OSX/Filemaker--> FMP5://...--- Need Help !!!

[djbeta]

This is very strange.. I've made a web page that has a link that SHOULD open a shared Filemaker database on another computer, using this syntax for the link:

FMP5://URL/filename

When I test it out on my machine (10.3.3, Filemaker 6 & 7 installed), I get this error:

Safari can’t open “fmp5://rtdb.mskcc.org/recruit.fp5” because Mac OS X doesn’t recognize Internet addresses starting with “fmp5:”.

I also tested it with Internet Explorer and it didn't work there either.

HOWEVER!!! the linked worked perfectly for 4 workmates of mine, 2 on PCs and 2 on macs, running 10.3, with Filemaker 6 & 7 installed.

Is there a way I can configure OS X to know how to deal with FMP5 (or any other) internet addresses ?

I *did* try reinstalling Filemaker 6, I tried the link from a newly created user on my machine, and I repaired permissions already.

Many many thanks in advance !!

WOW... I answered my own question... there is a preference pane called "More Internet" by Monkey Food software http://www.monkeyfood.com

CHECK IT OUT !!!! -->

"What is More Internet?"

More Internet is a System Preferences pane that uses Internet Config to allow you to choose which applications are set as helpers for internet protocols (i.e. which application will be chosen to handle which URL.)

Apple's own Internet Preference Pane only allows you to set Mail and Web applications - More Internet allows you to change (or add/remove) any of the internet protocols
