I am having problems with cloning. I have never tried it before. I know how to fix it but I don't understand. For example when I say clone on the admin2 screen I get the following message for each file: yyy_Clone.102 could not be created on this disk. Use a different name, make more room on the disk,remove write-protection or use a different disk. [all blatant lies] If I go into each save clone script and and look at what file it wants to write, it says yyy_Clone Clone.102. If I change that to yyy_Clone.102, do a save and then perform the script it works and doing a clone from the admin screen works. If I look at the script again it again wants to put the clone in yyy_Clone Clone.102. Cancelling leaves it working. I suspect that it has saved (somewhere hidden) the fact that when the files were shipped it was assumed that they would reside in wherever the default directory is. They don't, either on my home machine or certainly not in at work where they reside where FM Server wants to put them. Of course I can't fix the one in ebase.102. I am pretty sure this is broken as designed, i.e. a FileMaker bug It would be a nice change (for V2) to fix this and put the files in a clone subdirectory of wherever the files reside. For server this will mean that the clones are not opened automatically by the server since it only opens files in the server directory or one level (not two) down from it. It would be even better if they were saved with an extension of .clone, i.e. yyy_.clone instead of yyy_clone.102 because of FileMaker's bug of opening files anywhere on the disk when it choses to be obnoxious. ------------------ Reminder to each recipient: To change your list account preferences, go to http://email.sparklist.com/scripts/lyris.pl?enter=support and enter the email address you used to subscribe to the ebase support list:: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- ebase - Relationship Management for Nonprofits, http://www.ebase.org ---------------------------------------------------------------------
