1) Thank you, Tim, for your response. I did it as per your suggestion and created a shortcut on test.str file which opens with dp.exe and it works fine. Is this indeed the way to access my Test database? 2) I tried accessing the same database through Shell.exe or Shell.com but without success. What has to be done to be able to use the Shell environment via Network? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: barmag > To: [email protected] > Sent: Sunday, May 08, 2011 7:08 AM > Subject: [Dataperf] Network Problem > > Hi; > > I've been using DP for many years and for many clients without the > need of a network.
