MacOS-Error

[Hiss]

Using FM4 / FM 5 on a G4/9.1 (German) I get a message "Filemaker kann die Festplatte nicht aktualisieren. Abbrechen/Weiter" (meaning: Filemaker can't refresh(?) the harddisk. Abort/Continue" If you press "Continue" it continues correctly but the problem is that it interrupts my scripts and also indexing new fields or whole databases. It happens almost every 300-500 records (my main database contains 41000 records so I have to press the enter-key really often...). Does anybody know the reaseon for that (does not happen on a Windows System, so it seems to be a MacOS error)

Hello Hiss,

does your script contains 'flush cache to disk" statement ?

Try it regularly and see what happens.

It is signaling some kind of disconnection.

I can generate something similar to this on Windows, when I disconnect the network.

Couldn't you go back to previous Mac OS? Is it the same?

If yes -- it will be probably HW.

If not -- throw 9.1 out of window.

1. The cache flushing tip did help a lot. Thanks.

2. I had the same same problem with MacOS 9.04. Normally I prefer the Windows platform but I have to export and import formatted text. Filemaker (Windows) can't do that so I have to use the Mac
