To
whom it may concern,
I have
a question regarding the recent import of data into our new e-base
program. It seems that all the files are listed as last name first.
Is there a way of correcting this without going back and re-importing all the
data?
Thank
you for your assistance.

Windows sometimes get confused with filename extensions. The
extension is useful for when you want to do things like double-click on the
data file and have the application automatically open.
Changing the extension does not change the file in any way. So if
you already already have the application open (ie - Filemaker) you should
be able to open a filemaker data file, no matter what is the extension.
In the 'open file' dialog box, you may need to change the 'file as type'
option to all files.

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.
