DBFCDX / 1001 Error

[Frank Demont]

Hello,

I try to convert a clipper 5,3b aplication to xharbour on a VISTA computer :

? File("c:\BestelSysteem\HenWin\DataAnsi\bediende.dbf") // Gives .T.
USE ("c:\BestelSysteem\HenWin\DataAnsi\bediende.dbf") // ERROR DBFCDX/1001
Open Error

DBFCDX/1001 is not documented , maybe some restrictions for users ?

Frank,

xHarbour's default RDD is DBFNTX. In case you need DBFCDX:

REQUEST DBFCDX

and later do
RddSetDefault( "DBFCDX" )
or
use ("mytable.dbf") via "DBFCDX"

Thanks for the sugestion , but i showed only the offending line , of course
was dbfcdx loaded as expected.

Do you have read-write rights to the directory you list below? Vi$ta
is way more restrictive than XP and previous.

Is this a multi-threaded application (probably not)?
What is the status of SET EXCLUSIVE, and/or is one or more other
applications accessing the same file?

It simply says it could not open the file, that is what an open error
means. You could also check the status of HB_Oserror(), Doserror(),
Ferror() and/or Neterror() that would have been written to your fault
log (finding it on Vi$ta might be fun...)

I suspect it is not the Clipper conversion that is the problem, but
your Clipper code is no longer "translated" by Command.com in Vi$ta.
