MAC ISSUE

[Richard Kreiss]

I did not set this up nor was I involved with the choice of computer. My client made this choice himself. He is using a lot of Windows programs besides filePro. I don’t have any idea why he choose this computer except someone, other then me, suggested he purchase this MAC.

So, a quick and dirty (not an expert approach) is to make an image of the filePro install and rebuild the VM or replicate it (a 2nd VM and copy the filePro stuff over).

Also, I can not access any records already on the drive using *clerk and selecting auto index A and pressing F7.  I amsop can not access the file using a record number.  I have tried using 1 and then the last record number indicated which is 18,702  Even if I type in this number, Nothing happens.  I have rebuilt the indexes and run freechn on this file. Nothing helps.
