I recently added some scripts (for adding records from website generated CSV
files) to my client's contacts database. (I did not write the original.) I
added some temp fields and 1 layout for comparison purposes to any existing
matching contacts and archiving of any replaced data. I did not change any
existing scripts or redefine any existing fields.

After debugging (locally, not on the server) I cloned my work copy and then
imported records from the current version of the database, loaded it up to
serve (they are using server version 8.0v4). Now when anybody does anything-
say, a simple search- the databse closes in the server. Nobody has yet tried
to use my scripts to do anything, we are talking about the databse closing
in the server spontaneously as soon as anyone does anything at all.

The database runs fine when opened locally (not on the server).

I replaced my updated version with the original that was running before I
began work and it is stable.

I'm at a loss to explain why my newer version is unstable on the server.
Beyond taking a new clone or compressed copy and re-enetring the changes and
trying again, can anyone make a suggestion?

Other info: The DB was originally created using FM 8. Most users are on 8.5,
some are on 9. My changes were made in Filemaker 10, but used no features
that haven't existed as far back as FM 5.

Thanks,

Gary Hobish
