Newbies robin.hillier Posted January 24, 2002 Newbies Share Posted January 24, 2002 in 5.0v1 is it common for files to get corrupted? I have had this a couple of times. The Recover ... function says its worked but as soon as the file is opened FM quits and needs a restart as it claims I still have a copy running after it's quit! ps. I hope this is an appropriate place for this message - I couldn't see a better one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is an appropriate place for this message - I couldn't see a better one. First, get the 5.0v3 updater off the FMI site. It has many fixes. Second, don't use Recovered files. The purpose of Recover is to extract the data for insertion into a clean clone. The message you're getting most likely indicates that you have a duplicate copy of FileMaker Pro running on the network. Each copy must have its own serial number.

Newbies robin.hillier Posted January 24, 2002 Author Newbies Share Posted January 24, 2002 OK thanks - the message is part of the crash eg. it's not properly quitting - cos I only have one copy installed and I'm not networked! I take th epoint on the 'recover' function. What is the FMI site please? The official filemaker site at filemaker.co.uk has dead links to updaters (I did look cos I thought an update might fix the problem ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
