>1. I am based in Australia-we have a different date system to North America in that we write dates dd/mm/yy rather than mm/dd/yy as you do-is it easy to change this on ebase and if so how?
FileMaker has facilities for changing date formats. But you would need a copy of FileMaker to make the changes. All quite straight forward but tedious because there are lots of date fields. >2. Our phone number system is also different. We have a two digit area code usually followed by an eight digit number as in 08 89815433. Again -how is this changed in ebase? This would also require some customization as ebase currently does fairly heavy checking for US/Canadian style phone numbers. >3. Having downloaded ebase successfully I wanted to transfer it to my laptop computer-I did this by burning it to a CD and then loading onto the laptop. However ebase opens on the laptop but will not let me access it-am I doing something wrong? This is trivial. When you copy a CD the files all wind up with the R/O attribute set. You need to set the attributes back to R/W which is easily done in either Windows or DOS. In Windows navigate to the right directory where the .10x files live; Select all; right click and select properties; turn off the R/O flag; and OK. ------------------ 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
