Now that would REALLY confuse the system. There are many, many
references to files, by name, buried in scripts, calculations, and
relationships. These references rely on the name being exactly as it
expects. You would completely disable ebase by changing all the names.
>Any other ideas on how to have both ebase sets on the same computer?
Generally a bad idea, as you noted. Since you are networked, is it
possible to run the second system on another machine on the net? Not
perfect, since FileMaker can still find the files, but better than
the same machine.
