Hi,

is there a way to make sure a related db is open, and stays open? I mean, can i abort opening a solution when the preferences.fp5 is missing or misplaced?

TIA

JP

Use the design function DatabaseNames


If [PatternCount(DatabaseNames,"Preferences.fp5")=0]

  * File is closed or missing so put your abort routine here

Else

  * File is open so continue with your application

End If

Or create a startup script that opens all the files and check for errors...

Allow User Abort

...

Set Error Capture [on]

Perform Script [external, open script in file 1]

If [status(CurrentError) <> 0

Show Message [ "File 1 could not be opened."]

Exit Application

End If

Perform Script [external, open script in file 2]

If [status(CurrentError) <> 0

Show Message [ "File 2 could not be opened."]

Exit Application

End If

Perform Script [external, open script in file 3]

If [status(CurrentError) <> 0

Show Message [ "File 3 could not be opened."]

Exit Application

End If

... etc.

(The IFs could be nested with Else steps if you prefer.)
