May 8, 200322 yr Newbies I have a strange problem which I hope someone can help with. I have an iMac running Filemaker 5.5 Server and hosting over 50 databases. 10 of these databases are accessed by a 500MHz G4 PowerMac running OSX.2 and FileMaker 6 unlimited. This then serves these databases to the web using FM Web publishing. On occasion, FMPro has quit, and these databases can then not be accessed (obviously!!), and it is time consuming to open each individual database again, and I am not always available to do this. I have created another database which runs a simple startup script which opens the required databases from the host server. The problem is that FM unexpectedly quits when opening these databases (ie. Running the script) The script works perfectly on 2 other computers...G4 Powerbook w OSX.2 & FMPro 6 and an iMac running FM 5.5 and OS 9.1. There seems to be no pattern to when the script quits, sometimes after opening the first database, sometimes the third etc. Any suggestions welcome!
May 8, 200322 yr Have you got all the latest updates for FM6. Possibly the files are damaged, so FMP is attempting a repair.
May 8, 200322 yr If the files are damaged, the repair will be during FM server start, successful or not. If successful, the file is hosted otherwise not.
May 9, 200322 yr Author Newbies Possibly, but unlikely, as the script works fine on some machines, but not others, and the place the script stops varies. It does not appear related to any particular database.
