FM7 - Saved?

[Colin Gilboy]

I use FM7 in a peer to peer setup, with a dedicated machine as one of the peers. 2-3 users max plus the server.

The file timestamp on the server is not updated during the day, even though the save every 10 minutes option is selected.

Is the file actually saved or is the file just in memory.

I realize that as long as the file size does not change, FM7 could just be replacing some file sectors.

Advice please.

Welcome Colin,

Despite Bruce's unhelpful response, this is a question that has come up in the past. From what I recall, the files are updated at least every 10 minutes even though the Last Modified time does not appear to show it.

If you want to double check, try adding data to a *test* database, and then unplug the computer after 15 minutes. See if all the changes are there.
