Just noticed the following in latest Filemaker News

FileMaker has released FileMaker Pro 9.0v3 and FileMaker Pro 9.0v3
Advanced, available now via a downloadable update. The 9.0v3 update
provides compatibility with Mac OS X Leopard, and allows Instant Web
Publishing to work.

Don't know if that means it didn't work *at all* before...:-)

As far as I know, Instant Web Publising is broken under Leopard (Mac OS
X 10.5) for all versions of FileMaker prior to 9.0v3 (right back to
6.0v1).

They worked fine under Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4) and earlier.

IWP is definitely broken under Leopard for 8.5v1, 9.0v1 and 9.0v2. They
have no official statement for earlier versions but I think I've seen
other reports that it is broken.

FileMaker have just released 8.5v2 which fixes other Leopard
compatibility issues in 8.5, but they won't be fixing Instant Web
Publishing for any version earlier than 9.0.

This may have nothing to do with the OP's problem - he is already
running 9.0v3 (trial).

It might be a new bug in 9.0v3, but someone else would have to do a
similar test to prove or disprove this theory.
