Hi - our server went down last week while
I was importing a bunch of records into ebase and damaged the names and payments
files. I went to the ebase website and printed the procedures for
recovering damaged files.
I got as far as goint into Explorer and
renaming the damaged names database (step 2) and when I hit ok, it changed the
icons on all the ebase files from a windows-like icon to a filemaker file icon
and dropped part of the name and the .102 extensions. However, when you go
to properties, it still says they are 102 files. I am not a Windows expert
and don't know why it did this when I was only changing the name on one files
and what it means - will ebase/filemaker still recognize and make the necessary
relationships? Or do I need to do something to change the files
back?
Bob at Techrocks indicated to me that he
thinks I will need to re-install ebase and the files - I am hoping someone can
help me avoid this!
I didn't want to go any further with
the recovery process or open ebase until I got more information. I have
only been using ebase a couple months - I did speak to the person who previously
was in our office and she never had something like this happen when attempting a
recovery.
Thanks.
