Preventing Fatal Error on thread from shutting down the entire app

[debraballenger]

How can I prevent a fatal error on one thread from shutting down the entire application?  I am running with multiple backends and depending on the login it connects to the corresponding database.  If a file is missing or there is an invalid record declaration or something along those lines I do not want the application to stop, but just that thread so my other users can keep working.
Can this be done?
Thanks
Debra

Hi Debra, I'm not sure what you want can be done but what I did was make a small app that runs through all my DB's and converts them when I make dictionary changes.

Hi Debra,

not the only solution, but we use File Manager 3 (http://www.capesoft.com/accessories/FM3sp.htm).
That deals with all that sort of thing on the fly, and the server just keeps going.
