Intersting... This is exactly what the user who first reported this got as an error and after a few retries and clicking on NO they went ahead also saying YES and they got good data -- So this seems to be a false statement reported from RBase/OS (Win 2000 in this case). It must be what Razzak says is the bug fix between versions. I figured I could fix this be finding a good way to indentify which OS the user is using, and then set the SCRATCH through code which is what I mean by doing it manually. I think I am going to capture what ever directory my code decides to uses as the SCRATCH dir and refer to it in some instances of what I am doing.
I upgraded our whole main company from DOS6.0 to RBase6.5 DOS yesterday, and see another issue that I don't like. We run a file that creates a playback file to capture menu positions in RBase and returns the user to the last menu they used. This playback file is created a deleleted many times, but since it's a temporary file I can't set rights to it through Netware 5.1 ( not successfully yet) because each time it's deleted and recreated the file rights get dropped. This is a real pain. I figure if I track this TEMP directory I can use this directory to WRITE and playback it locally on the users local machine. This is my hope. Have to write the code for it yet..
