I get an error message ever day. it causes no problem with server function.

The message flashes in the finder:

"Recalulate Today Function"

I click on the message and an alert window apears "File window wasn't found".

I click on "OK' and it goes away.

I am running an apple script in Server to recalulate the today function all databases running on the server.

To be honest I am familiar with FMP Server 2.1 and not at all with Server 3...

Server 2.1 could not recalculate Today function itself. FileMaker (err, Claris back then?) specifically mentioned that ny databases that used the Today function need to be closed from the server, then opened up in a normal version of FMP, then closed and reopened in the server version (the Today function was only recalculated in the normal version of FMP). The 2,1 server was supplied with a Toolbox, applescripts that automatically managed this operation.

Perhaps the situation is similar with Server 3?

For what it is worth, I advise people NOT to use the today function. The Status(Currentdate) and Status(CurrentTime) functions do the job better and avoid the problem.
