You can also tell the server to ignore the single user flag and open them anyway. Are the "missing" files really there in the same directory with ebase.103? Look in the NT application event log on the server machine. You will see messages about opening files and errors or warnings about ones that it couldn't open with at least some clues as to what went wrong, e.g. Server will not convert v4 to v5. You must do that with FMP V5 before putting the files on the server. ------------------ 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
