Database Recovery issues

    Hello,

    Optigold ISP v.3.3.3 ; FileMaker Pro v.5

    While invoicing for April, I forgot to disable McAfee on the server, and the server hung, and caused Filemaker to shut down.

    I went through the process of recovering the damaged database files, which were the following:

    mainmenu.fp5
    invoices_.fp5
    lineitems_.fp5

    All the data is there. However, now when I open the program, every time it tells me that it could not find "invoices_." and I have to tell it to use "invoices_.fp5" - and then it says it did not find "lineitems_." and I have to ask it to use "lineitems_.fp5"

    It does it 2 times for each file every time I launch the program.

    It also does this if I'm trying to generate invoices, bill customers, etc.

    I am happy that all the data is still there - but is there a way I can get rid of this minor annoyance?

    Check the file names... make sure they are exactly Invoices_.fp5 for exampe (no spaces).

    There was a space in both file names -

    Invoices_ .fp5
    Lineitems_ .fp5

    I work remotely on that machine, so the characters are a little small.

    My bad ... thank you.
