patso23 Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Hi, I have only been working with filemaker for about 9 months, but I have a pretty good idea of what I'm doing. So here's my problem. My office runs FileMaker server ver 5.5 on a mac running 10.2.6. And most everyone in the office accesses it using Filemaker pro5 for os9. Earlier today, everyone got kicked off the server only in regard to one file (ie. "All orgs"). I went to the server to check the log and this is the error message for when it kicked everyone off the file: May 10 13:05:57 Harold INFO: File "All orgs" read error on block 5445. (-39) May 10 13:05:57 Harold INFO: User "Maude" [] forced to close connection. May 10 13:05:57 Harold INFO: User "Elsa" [] forced to close connection. May 10 13:05:57 Harold INFO: User "Thom" [] forced to close connection. May 10 13:05:57 Harold INFO: Closing file "All orgs" due to serious error. (10198) So after seeing this I went to use the recover function of filemaker and saved the "All orgs Recovered." When I backed up and then replaced the error-laden file with the supposed recovered file...I still receive an error when launching my filemaker startup script. Something like "All Orgs can not be found and is required to complete function" or something similar. Also, after the error it prompts me to find the file manually, which I did....and the file opens fine! What is going on here? Has anyone ever had a similar experience? Does anyone know what I need to do to get this back? This is part of a very mission critical relational database that I need up and running as soon as possible. Any help anyone gives would be GREATLY appreciated. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Witberg Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 take a look at the file ref in the startup script, you probably have to point it at the recovered file, the script still looks at the old one. kjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patso23 Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well, I already changed the name of the recovered file back to the file that it was originally named. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maarten Witberg Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I admit it's poke around and see what happens, but nevertheless, i'd open up the startup script. otherwise, you can try deleting the prefs file for server 5.5 (park it in a safe place and test before deleting) and / or restarting server 5.5 or the entire host machine. kjoe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
