RE: Open with Multi set off

[Tricia PORTER]

Thanks Javier and Razzak, We were able to get back up and running. I did check all .cfg files and multi was set on, on all of our users files.  When we brought the network back up, I had lost connection to our server and had to map my network drive again.  Do you think because I lost connection to our server that somehow the system thought my multi was set to no? I was not yet connected to our server, and my co-worker opened his database and it opened fine, then he closed it, and then tried to open it again.  That's when we got the error "opened with multi set off". I didn't' do anything to fix the problem, somehow it fixed itself.  All users can now access our database.  Thank you very much for the advise!  I have so much to learn!  Tricia             >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 08/02/02 11:37AM >>> There a re several situations that I can think that could cause this problem: - User still connected in single user (too obvious) - Data base files attributes set to “read only”. Most software that writes to CDs will set this flag to read only; when you back up your files to CD (copy the *.rb_ files) and then copy them back to a hard disk the file attribute will be set to read only (been there, done that) – Possible - Users needs to have network read/write privileges for the files and directory. Since your network was worked on, this is a likely cause Best of luck,   Javier Valencia, PE President Valencia Technology Group, L.L.C. 14315 S.

Is there a command I can run to reset my database service? I'm running r:base 2000 6.5++  windows. All help is very much appreciated.  Thanks.  Tricia Porter Weber State University
