Someone gave me this excellent check routine to see if a Valentina

*function* CheckDatabase

*put* false into tOpen
*else*
*put* true into tOpen
*end* *if*
*return* tOpen
*end* CheckDatabase
But how do I check to see if Valentina Studio (or another program)
has the
database open? When running the database client side if Valentina
Studio has
it open and then you try to open it with RunRev you get an instant
catastrophic crash so I need a routine to check in RunRev first to
see if
another program has like valentina studio has the same database
open before
I open it with RunRev. The above routine does not work for that.
Can anyone please suggest something? By the way I reported this in
Mantis
for Valentina but I've given up reporting bugs in Bugzilla at least
until
there is an easier way to do it (similar to Mantis or RevZilla -- I
haven't
checked has RevZilla been updated to work with the new system?)

Hi William,
On January 16, 2008 I asked a question about how to determine if a
database
is open. The question is listed below. There were answers and
question that
I asked about the answers. Look at the thread carefully. I believe
it includes
the answer but after that I focused on other parts of Valentina so I
still need to
do to.
It would be nice if they included a function with Valentina to give a
simple true
or false if a database is open instead of looking at the list. I
don't think they
understand how important this would be for Rev users so they probably
will
not make the function.

I am trying to check if a database is open or not.
I use the following:
on mouseUp
answer file "Select DB:"
put it into dbPath
if dbPath is empty then exit mouseUp
put VDataBase_IsOpen(dbPath) into var
put var
end mouseUp
I have checked and dbPath contains the proper
path for the database I select.
If the database is open this should put True into
the message box but all it does is show an empty
message box.
Anyone know what I am doing wrong or how to
check for the open status of a database?
thanks,
