Search Again: FileMaker 5, was: 2000 virtual domains From: Hazlitt Krog Date: Sunday, October 10, 1999 Time: 5:24:00 pm Perhaps this is getting a little off-topic, but does anyone know if the FileMaker data corruption problems mentioned below are solved by the latest release (v5)? I just went to the recently redesigned http://www.FileMaker.com/ site and did a search for "data corruption." Not too surprisingly, I got "err: no results."

In fact, that's when it got media attention, after which people pointed out that it had existed beforehand. I've only ever seen it myself with 8.5.1, with a corrupted FileMaker field index. >____________________________________________________________________ >Chris Buxton cbuxton@menandmice.com >Men & Mice http://www.menandmice.com >Makers of: QuickDNS Pro
