diamondgirl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 This is a general question about how filemaker works: Sometimes our database opens a file normally (I can tell because at the top of the database it says the filename, "Customers (djbserver.local)" Other times the filename may have a number after it, "Customers-2 (djbserver.local)." Why does this do this and do I have to be concerned about our staff adding data to the wrong database?? Using FM 9 server and FM 9 desktops. Thank you in advance!

Rick Whitelaw Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 It looks to me that your OS has added the number as a result of a file being copied into the same location as the original. If that's the case I would be concerned about data entry going into the wrong file. RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wim Decorte Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 That would be because at some point you've opened a new window for the same file. What you're seeing is how FM renames the windows if you don't do it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
