Hi and Happy New Year to everyone. I run FMP 19.4.2 on a MacbookPro with M1 Pro MacOS Monterey 12.0.1. I open files located on an FMS Server. When the Macbook goes out from sleep, way too often either FMP crashes or can't reconnect. The duration of the sleep does not seem to be in relation with th…

I have the hot corners configured, top left is never sleep. I simply push the cursor into that corner. Or push it to the server with PSOS.
