Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Problems attaching DBase table
Yes, that gives no errors, lists the table in my R:Base tables list. It
also did not give the reserved words error.
The error that I now get is #2585, Cannot find dBase file in current
directory or path. It just attached the file, how can it have a path
error? This occurs when I want to open the table. I probably shouldn't
be opening the table? Creating a form based on the table does work.
However, using that form creates the same error.

Hans: if you type "SET ANSI OFF" before attaching, does that help any?
Karen
I end up with a "R:Base eXtreme 9.0 (64) has encountered a
problem and
needs to close" error and Windows wants to call home.
Following is my process (using R:Base eXtreme 9.0 (64) with the
latest
updates installed):
- Connect a R:Base 9 database
- Attach a DBF table, no index
- receive error msgs that reserved words are being used and I
update
each of those when it pops up with an acceptable field name.
When it is
through, it comes up with the Microsoft problem.
What am I not understanding that is creating this error?
I am not using an index, yet, just wanting to open the DBF
table. This
problem exists if I want to open a 52MB table or a 1KB table. I
keep
getting the Windows error message and R:Base crashes/terminates.
R:Base
opened the file or it wouldn't have known about the reserved
word usage
for the column names.
Thoughts, please?
Thanks,
Hans Manhave
