I installed the above mentioned update last night, and still can't get  
the Admin console on a MacBook running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to  
work properly. It launches and shows the opening screen OK. I can  
click on the items in the lower part of the top left panel without  
problems - Configuration, General Settings, Database Server, Web  
Publishing ODBC/JDBC.

But as soon as I click on Items in the top Administration part -  
Clients, Databases, Schedules I get a dialog

FileMaker Server Admin Console
Admin Server Connection Error:
An unknown error has occurred.
OK

and clicking OK closes the Admin Console.

The Server is an eMac running Mac OS X 10.4.11, and the version of  
FiileMaker Server installed on it is 9.0.3.326.

Is anyone else having trouble with accessing the FileMaker Server  
Admin Console from a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard?

Thanks

Roger
