Rummaging through all the IDE scripts, lots of gold in there. on setAsBehavior pTarget set the behavior of pTarget to the long id of this me end setAsBehavior What does the use of "this" get us? vs just using "me" I read the dictionary entry... doesn't help with understanding the use case

Re: Error: Unable to open the database file

can you map the server to a drive letter? (or mount it to a folder on the local system) If so, that might help. Alternatively, can you "set the folder.." to a path on the server and see "the files"? If you can successfully set the default folder, then you can just supply the filename and see

Re: Error: Unable to open the database file

I did read some about the file locking issues so I'll continue to look into that. Regarding testing with sqLite3, I'm not sure what to do with it. I downloaded the pre-compiled binary for Windows 64. It gave me 2 files, sqlite3.def and sqlite3.dll but I'm not sure what to do with them.

Re: Error: Unable to open the database file

I suppose I should also mention the usual caveat about using sqlite over a networked file system, which is that sqlite relies on file system locking to preserve data integrity and some networked file systems are buggy in that area according to the sqlite website. On Tue, Apr 5, 2016, 3:57 PM Ray

Re: Error: Unable to open the database file

You might want to try opening the database with something other than Livecode in hope that you will get a more informative error message. sqlite3 is the official sqlite command line tool. It's distributed with OSX but not sure if it's included with Windows. Are you able to access any other

Devin - thanks for the idea but that's not it. I just checked and everything on my Windows 8.1 system matches case with the database file path on the Linux server. I even tried changing the name of the database file to all lower case but that didn't work either. Thanks... On 4/5/2016 3:38

Re: Error: Unable to open the database file

I've never worked with sqLite databases before but it appears I should be able to access one on a server pretty much the same as I do locally. Here's what I've done: put revOpenDatabase("sqLite",localPath) into theDbId -- this creates a zero K local database file put
