Start-up Script and Macintosh Manager

August 16, 200223 yr

I have a unique problem. Well at least I haven't seen anything posted like this.

I have a Start-up script that opens 5 related DB's on a Apple G4 500Mhz sever running FileMaker Server. The script used to work great (befor we started using Mac Manager). We just installed a complete new network that added 2 OS X servers and run Macintosh Manager on the network for file level security and permissions. All of the computers used to access FMP are running OS 9.2.1 or 9.2.2. FileMaker Pro 5.5 runs fine with Macintosh Manager. All of the files on the FM server are set to multi-user and if I use the open command and the Hosts button I can get to the DBs. However, when I double click to use the DB that is just a Start-up script, it launches FileMaker Pro, goes to the network; Now here's where the problem occurs. A message is returned that the file is single user or the network can't be found. So I suspect that it has to something with the path used to find the DBs on the FM server.

I know Macintosh Manager needs some things in certian folders to have them work correctly, but these are usually Preferences. Other DBs work correctly. Will I have to re-do the script and point it some how to the FM server?

This has really got me baffled.
