Hey folks,
chalk this one up to not really being back at work yet.
A group that we work with that's using Ebase has run into a snag -- the contacts file isn't opening for them for some odd reason. (you know, the "file cannot be found" message)
I'm thinking it's a script issue, and my lame question is: where's the script that opens up contacts in the first place? I thought it was part of the Ebase file, but when I try to get into that files scripts, I can't !
It might or might not be a script issue. The contacts file is
opened only on demand - that is, whenever information is required of
it such as displaying a screen with related fields on it. If your
group is using ebase on a network, and the host is started with the
standard script, when a request for data from contacts is made from a
client machine, you will get the message you describe. The host needs
to have all the files running. Using a peer-to-peer setup, you need to
do something non-standard on the host to open all the files. This is
usually done with a startup file which calls the "open all"
script in the names file.
