Anyone have any ideas?
Bill,
Without knowing all details regarding your 7.5 database,
follow the recommended technique to convert R:BASE 7.5
for Windows database to Turbo V-8 for Windows.
Here's how:
01. Start R:BASE 7.5 for Windows, and at the R> Prompt:
CONNect dbname
SET NULL -0-
OUTPUT filename.ALL
UNLOAD ALL
OUTPUT SCREEN
DISCONNECT
This process will create two files (filename.ALL and
filename.LOB)
Exit R:BASE 7.5 for Windows
02. Start R:BASE Turbo V-8 for Windows
Switch the default directory to the folder with
filename.ALL and filename.LOB files.
At the R> prompt of R:BASE Turbo V-8:
RUN filename.ALL
This step will build a clean database to be used
exclusively by R:BASE V-8 Turbo.
New database files will have the following extensions:
dbname.RX1
dbname.RX2
dbname.RX3
dbname.RX4
X = eXtended
LIST DATABASE command at the R> prompt will only list
Tubo V-8 database(s) in that folder.
All converted R:BASE 7.5 for Windows Forms, Reports,
Labels along with your existing R:BASE 7.5 compliant
code and applications, should work accordingly.
Once the database is converted, it can only be connected
using R:BASE V-8 Turbo for Windows.
Along with "NO 2GB LIMIT", more power, and V-8 specific
commands, you also have the ability to use up to 128
characters naming convention for database, tables,
columns, etc.
Please Note:
All add-on products, such as, R:Compiler, R:Charts,
Oterro, R:Synchronizer, R:Magellan, Custom Plugins,
R:Column Analyzer, R:WEB Suite, R:Fax, R:Merge, RBAdmin,
R:FTP Client, R:Scope, R:PDF Works, R:This, and R:That
will also need to be upgraded and fully compatible with
Turbo V-8 for Windows environment.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
