Create New Table in Catalog

[tommyfs]

The /Tables... and /Joins... selections in the Catalog/ menu are grayed out. I'm using Impropmtu Administrator Version 7.1, signing on as Creator with the proper password. The /Folders... selection is available, but I need to access the tables. What am I missing?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Probably that another user has the catalog open already.

soi la, soi carré

To eliminate that possibility, I copied the catalog from the network onto my c: drive, then checked the box "Make this a distributed catalog". Therefore, no other User could have been using the catalog.

The answer which I found this morning is a statement in the file Impromptu.ini:

[Startup Options]
OverrideDistributed=1

Voila! Catalog/Tables and .../Joins are visible once again.

I'm not sure where or when that statement is generated, but for now I don't need to know. Everything works!

Thanks for your input.

Is the catalog and/or copy read-only?

The way I have it set up now is: the Master Distibuted catalog is the one on the network, while the copy on my C: drive is a read-only copy.
