Three things to try... First, insure that the ebase file set is set to multi-user. To confirm this, click the Admin tab, go to page 2, and click the button to "Set to Mulit-user" Second, insure that the correct network software is installed and selected. In FileMaker, select the menu item Edit>Preferences>Application. In the Preferences dialog, select the General tab, and confirm that the Network Protocol setting is compatible with your network (TCP/IP in your case, I think). If that choice is not available, you need to dig out your FileMaker install disk and install the network software. Third, make sure your network is OK. Test by using some other network function like file sharing. -- -- Dave Shaw H4 Consulting tel: 206-954-7526 fax: 206-625-1338 ------------------ 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
