Previously when I launched iFamily it would open with my current database.
Since I installed Snow Leopard and iFamily v2.511 this no longer happens.
When I launch iFamily, the only indication that it is running is the menubar and dock icon. No windows are displayed.
I have to choose, File/Open... and browse to the database every time I launch the application.
Ifamily no longer loads database at startup.
Ifamily no longer loads database at startup.
Have you tried opening by double clicking on your database? When you have done that once iFamily should (in theory) open that one when you launch. Is your file showing in the File/Open Recent list?

I have tried what you suggest, but the next time I open iFamily - it doesn't open the database.
The File/Open Recent menu is always empty.

When quitting iFamily try using Command (Apple key on older Macs) Q or click on iFamily tab in the toolbar and select Quit iFamily from the drop down list. If you close and quit, you are closing the database you had opened and the iFamily runs but expects you to select a database to access. Once you do this iFamily will always start with the database you had open last. Remember, iFamily runs independently of any database being opened so if you close the database each time (closing the window for example) then the next time you start iFamily it runs without opening a database. I've made this more convoluted than necessary. Just try what I wrote in the first sentence and see if that helps.

No good - that what I do in any case.

Have you moved your iFamily database from its location when you originally installed the program? If this is not the case, I'd say you need to send Warwick an email. Maybe he can resolve your problem.
