Can anyone explain the rules for including a leading colon (or not)
in a filename.
I have found that often it doesn't matter, but sometimes the leading
colon is required (when the file is on the startup disk). But, I just
discovered that FileMaker Pro chokes on:
open file ":Office:Office-Databases:Contacts"
but it works correctly with the leading ":" removed.
If anyone can explain the subtleties of this, I'd appreciate it.
