R:Merge

[Tom Eldred]

Hi all...   Just purchased and am trying to set up R:Merge. We put the software on a workstation, and store our data in a mapped drive on the server. I am having a strange interaction between the two.   I can connect to the database with no problem, but am unable to create a template. I go through the motions and after clicking ok I am returned to a blank white template manager.   When trying the same procedure from a back up copy stored on my PC... I am able to connect and create no problem.  AND most curious to me is that if I transfer the sample datafile to the same location on the server, that datafile allows me to create and use templates....   Have tried to: start in the data file on the server; reinstall; install in the data file on the server; and, navigating to the data;   with no success... is there anyone out there that has had similar experience? or know what it might be that is mismatched? I checked using R:> show any differences in the two databases and have still no answer.   any information or answers would be appreciated   Tom
