    Attempting to add a new field via fieldmaker and error messages occur when committing:

    Unable to generate SDO file name for file "".
    Could note create buffer object for table fm_contact. (7334)

    Steps To Duplicate:
    1. In FIMS, go to Tools > system utilities > fieldmaker configuration
    2. Search by clicking binoculars
    3. Double click fm_contact to open
    4. Add field name and set properties
    5. Go to Processes > Commit Changes
    6. See errors
    Answer:

    After doing further investigation found that Fieldmaker commits find on the FIMS database server with no issues. 

    The workstation had a redirect in place that redirects to a UNC path as shown in help and about FIMS although the FIMS shortcut on the workstation had N:\found\fims and there were no UNC paths in the fims.ini file.


    Solution is to commit Fieldmaker on the server going forward since there are no issues there.
