Re: Any way to save automatically to avoid data loss in crash?

I would aproach this from the other end. It is not filemakers' fault your
system crashes so often. There is almost no software that is completely
crash-proof. I would try to solve any underlying problems why your system is
crashing. or buy a new Mac :-))

Thanks Nate, I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work. I've set
up a "Flush Cache" script, made changes to a field, performed the
"Flush Cache" script and then Force Quitted FMP. When I re-open the
file, the changes were not saved. I need a solution that will save
those changes on a regular basis. I've had it set to Flush every 10
minutes under preferences, but it isn't saving changes. Any
suggestions?

Thanks, Jon

Under Edit, Preferences, Memory tab, you can set an interval of how
often FileMaker flushes the cache to disk. This can also be done
manually via the Flush Cache script step.

I realize that FMP 8 is supposed to save cache contents regularly
(either during idle time or at pre-set intervals), but when my
computer crashes I invariably lose a day's work and have to restore
from my daily backup file. Is there a way to get FMP to save
regularly so this doesn't happen? Any help would be greatly
appreciated!
