Default Renaming Related files? - 06-13-2005 , 03:32 PM






Hi --

This is probably a really simple question -- if I have a database
composed to two related files (FMP 6) and want to change their names,
how do I do so without spoiling the existing relationship between them?

thanks -- just don't want to screw this up.

Say you have files AA and BB, and you want BB to be named CC.
Do change 'BB' into 'CC'. When you'll call AA that has relationships to
BB, it will ask you 'Where is BB ?'. You tell it that the "BB" file is
now the file named CC. Almost done. You just have to verify all the
scripts and the calculations calling for BB to see if there are missing
links. If yes you redo them with CC.

Thank-you!

That turned out to be wonderfully simple -- I had to re-code the scripts
taking me back and forth, but everything else was fine.

best,
alber
