Aussie John Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I have noticed that after I close a file it sometimes reopens a few days later. Any ideas? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew F Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Power failure and a restart? Start and stopped the server? Ghost in the machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven H. Blackwell Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 These are hosted files on FileMaker Server that are doing this? Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie John Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 Steven - That is right. It has only happened a couple of times and is sticking at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aussie John Posted October 13, 2009 Author Share Posted October 13, 2009 Restarted the server and the files reopened again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well, I am still not sure what you're doing here, but if you restart the database service all files will be reopened. You can prevent the database service from starting automatically-- and you should do this--when the server machine is restarted. There is a Console setting to do this.

Aussie John Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well that solves that problem then. Yes my DB server restarts automatically but I didn't know it resets the databases. If I stop the FM server first will that preserve the open/close settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John May - Point In Space Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 No - if set to auto-start, FileMaker Server will automatically open all databases in the /databases/ directory, no matter what their previous state. You need to move any databases outside of said directory that you don't want opened. - John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Just turn off the option to start the database server automatically. Steven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
