I'm merging two applications, and when I click on the drop-down arrow in the "Select an application file to merge" box I am unable to select any other directory.  Is that a bug or by design?

I can get around it by copying my target application into the same directory as the open app, but I thought I'd mention it.

OK, thanks.  I have a rootdirs.ini file in my C:/Sesame directory.  It reads:

I'd like to be able to access all directories under C/:Sesame.  Do I need to add a listing for each directory?

Than you.  Currently I am using standalone.  I will eventually be moving to client/server but at that time everything will be in one directory, because my co-workers are all insane and who know what they'll try to do.  (Yesterday my boss saved a .jpg onto the server and spent 15 minutes trying to figure out how to email it as an attachment to the dispatcher downstairs.  He finally gave up and called me.  I, of course, pointed out that the dispatcher had access to the same server as he did, so....  Sheesh.)

I think what caused my merge problem is that I did not start Sesame from a shorcut, but by double clicking on a .db file (this is my usual practice, as my files are currently spread all over, and it's easier than navigating from a drop-down list.  Since the db file was in a sub-directory, the program probably never referenced the rootdirs.ini file.

Thanks Ray.  I gave it a try and set the SESAME_ROOTDIRS_PATH to C:\Sesame...and Sesame locked up on me twice when I clicked "merge".  And though the Administration function said that my application was unlocked, I still had to unlock it each time.  So I deleted SESAME_ROOTDIRS_PATH and everything was happy again.

But it's OK, I'll just have to remember that when it comes time to merge I should use the Sesame shortcut which starts Sesame in it's own directory, instead of double-clicking on a db file.  Thanks again!

What, you expect me to start following directions now?

Huh.  Well whattya know, I tried it and it works.  IT'S MAGIC, I TELLS YA!!

Thanks.
