Yeah, it's on a network, server seems to have all the files open, but contacts is acting funny -- what do I need to tell them to do to troubleshoot this?

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.
