MGroves Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I'm fairly new to Filemaker, and have recently been getting a message that Filemaker is "scanning for unused blocks" when I try to open a Database that we use on a daily basis in the office. I saw a thread about this from a while back, but I thought maybe someone might have some additional help! I'm here waiting for my database to open...smiley-frown Thanks, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ender Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Could be it needs to be compacted (Save a Copy As... (Compacted)). Make sure you are not attempting to open a file from a network shared volume. Files should only be opened locally, or with FileMaker's network protocol (via Open Remote). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGroves Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 I had tried saving a compacted copy before, but second time around it seems to have worked. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHunter3 Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 I most often see that dialog when a file was not shut down properly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
