The only way I can replicate this behavior is to have the network preferences set so FileMaker is using TCP/IP and the OS is set to use PPP for establishing a TCP/IP connection. You have set the network preferences to none on the new copy of FileMaker, so I've got to wonder if you have two copies of FileMaker floating around, and when you launch ebase (using an alias?) it's using a copy of FileMaker with an active network protocol. Try launching your new copy of FileMaker, verify that it has the network protocol set to none, and using the File Menu to open ebase. -- -- 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
