Change filename case

[Sroach]

We have various mixed case filenames for programs, these now reside on Unix and we would like to make all filenames lowercase. The problem is roundtable keeps checking the object out with the original case. Is there a way around this.

I have had a similar problem but in the other direction as I need program to convert some file names for use on UNIX.
On a windows system the only way I could find to rename the files was using a batch file using the rename function. e.g to convert to capital letters
ren prog1.p PROG1.P.

The other option would be to rename the files in the roundtable database.
I think this would be the rtb_object table in field object.
To be certain you might want to rename all the places where object is referenced.
I haven't tried this so I can't guarantee it, but I think it would work.

My only concern with changing the rtb_object.object field is it is a key field, since I am not changing the actual name just the case, this may work, I’ll give it a test.
