I certainly didn't mean it to come across like that! I think the following section confused me... (I am easily confused!) The Active4D Directory All config files must reside in a special directory called “Active4D”. Active4D will look for the Active4D directory using the following search path: - The database directory (Standalone/Server) or application directory (Client) - The shared 4D directory - The ~/Library/Preferences directory (Mac OS X), Windows directory (Win95/98/Me/XP) or WINNT directory (Win2K, NT) "- The database directory (Standalone/Server) or application directory (Client)" There is no mention of 4D Remote so I wasn't sure where the Active4D folder should go. I then found these folders "C:\Users\Jeremy\AppData\Local\4D\Active4D-demo-v11_192_168_0_6\c om.aparajita\Active4D." I was using the Active4D v5 demo to test the configuration which has an Active4D folder next to the structure (no conf or lib subfolders). I was simply copying this Active4D folder (or the contents of) into the Active4D folder. No joy! "- The shared 4D directory" I didn't know where or what the shared 4D directory was. "- The ~/Library/Preferences directory (Mac OS X), Windows directory (Win95/98/Me/XP) or WINNT directory (Win2K, NT)" Before trying the Windows directory found the following searching back through the Active4D List I found the following "[1]http://www.digipedia.pl/usenet/thread/14238/1010/"; and also : [2]http://active4d-nabble.aparajitaworld.com/Active4D-files-locat ion-on-4D-Remote-web-server-version-12-on-Windows-td3672858.html These got me on the track of the C:\ProgramData\4D\com.aparajita\Active4D (I assume now this is the shared 4D directory?) and Michael Larue and the folder structure within the Active4D directory et voila. If I buy the v5 Active4D is there an upgrade path to v6 Active4D or should I wait for V6 ? I have V4 but assume there is no upgrade path to V5/6? Cheers, Jeremy.
