Host Links Fail

[AngeloM]

I searched through the forum and did not find anything for this.

Here's the skinny: Small FM app (20 dbs) being served on FMS 5.5v2, Beige G3, OSX 10.1.5. Desktop running FMP 6.0v4. There are also 8 local dbs. Links were set for these files to point back to the host machine. They do not appear to be saved as everytime the user signs on, they are asked to locate the dbs. Manually going in with the admin PW and re-establishing the links in the scripts and relationships does not help either.

This db system has been running (with upgrades) for 9+ years and this never happened prior to OSX. Previously, when a change was made, the link would have to be re-established but it would remember it the next time.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Try unchecking the "Save relative path only" box in the file linking dialog.

Where on the local machine's directory do the 8 local db's exist?

[AngeloM]

I did try it with the checkbox on and off. Same results. I even set up the IP of the server in the hosts list and re-established all the relationships and script steps that call external scripts while I was logged in as the admin (admin of the db - machine login is admin as well).

Local dbs are in users:shared:ST_HD_Data

Users are all logged in with admin privs (didn't want to but thought that might be causing the problem).
