Filemaker Pro Migration Question
Hey all, This is a question which should have a fairly obvious answer, however I require confirmation from external sources regarding this specific situation. Previously we had an OS X fileserver for all the macs to access their data. (shared via AFP). Within one of the specific group folders lies a bunch of Filemaker Pro 6 and 8 databases. These databases are all interlinked within various folder and subfolders, spread all throughout the hierarchy of this specific group folder. Recently we migrated all the Mac data onto a Windows File Server (for centralized storage). The mac data is being shared via AFP using Extreme Z IP. In migrating the data, it seems that the relationships between the filemaker pro 6 files were lost, and therefore these files needed to be re-linked manually. I believe this is because filemaker pro 6 used hard links for relationships, as opposed to filemaker pro 8 which uses relative paths (?). What I would like to find out is if there is an easy or quick way to re-link all the filemaker pro 6 files, when migrating the data from one file server to another, or whether the only option is to manually re-define the broken relationships? And if we were to migrate this data again to a different server in the future, and they weren't upgraded to version 8, are we likely to face this issue again? __ Alexia Langley Senior Mac Support Officer Institute for Child Health Research (Company Limited by Guarantee ACN 009 278 755) Subiaco, Western Australia, 6008 Ph 61 8 9489 7971, Fax 61 8 9489 7700 email [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ # This e-mail message has been scanned for Viruses and Content and cleared by MailMarshal # -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Daylight Saving OT
Couldn't resist my two bits :) Some of us have never had the chance to vote on this, this will be the first time we can, and I'll be voting yes. I don't see what all the fuss is about, daylight savings works over east and in countries a over the world. I was indifferent towards it until I lived in places where they had it, and I just love having that extra hour in the evening of sunlight just to maybe sit outside and have dinner, or go for a bike ride while its still light after work. Besides, I have no curtains in my bedroom window (and no real way of putting them up due to the way the room is shaped) and the sunlight wakes me up WAY too early on the weekends!! Agreed, try it out, if you don't like it, vote no. I think that three year trial is better than a 1 year trial as it gives you a bit more time to get into the sync of it, rather than it being a bit of a pain for one year and not having another chance at it. I do find it a bit annoying though, much as I wanted it to come in asap, working in IT and having to work out the whole computer time thing in 1 week is not quite what I wanted. Osaka time it is!

Retrospect Issue
Hi everyone, I have a question about Retrospect and despite hours of trawling Google trying to work this out I just can't seem to get it to work. I have a number of laptops that are being backed up from Retrospect, and there's just one that has this problem where every time the computer gets shut down or restarted, it switches to the Off button. I've tried updating. I've tried re-installing. I've tried trashing preferences and re-setting it up. I've tried everything I can think of and I just -cannot- get it to stay on after a reboot. As mentioned, this is the ONLY laptop that exhibits this problem, all other computers when rebooted, if you open Retrospect client they're configured to the On button. Has anyone come across this before, and if so, did they have a solution? Thanks for any help! Alexia __
Re: Retrospect Issue
Bob, No actually, I have not tried zapping PRAM, will give that a go. The laptops that are working are a range of laptops. A couple of 14 ibooks, a couple of 12 powerbooks, a couple of 15 powerbooks running either 10.3.9 or 10.4.4. They're the main models that are out there. The one that does not work is a 15 powerbook running 10.4.4. Its a 1.67ghz g4, and another user has the exact same model and Mac OS version as this one, with Retrospect working fine.

Most of these programmes that do mass submissions submit to hundreds of irrelevant link farms which big engines like Google look down on, and all you get out if it is a LOT of SPAM (when was the last time you looked on some generic link farm for any useful information?)
