Okay man, that's what I like to see...really slowly spelled-out power
of reasoning stuff (which I can have read to me by someone who isn't seeing
double at this point). S-C-I-E-N-C-E...I remember that from school.
So what we had from ages and ages passed was a /Filemaker/Filemaker
Pro 5/Web/optigold folder...probably put in place because the contents of
Web are auto-overwritten in an upgrade and we have modified the much of
that stuff and would then have lost reference if we left that as the
operating folder. So getting the contents of /Web into /Web/optigold did
seem to return the missing functionality (yeah) though of course these are
generic sign-up pages with inappropriate and unused boxes, etc...
So I guess the next question is inevitable (and not really coming
from me...as I pray only for 5:00pm at this point)...we have really heavily
modified that sign-up pages...different stuff gathered for different types
of accounts, etc...can you offer some advice about getting the 'new' web
interface to act like the old one? My web guys are now sitting down (at a
busy time) looking at comparing files and changes that were done long ago
and any help I (you) can offer will be much appreciated and sorely needed.
Thanks!
