App will not open

[omni]

Roger,

Just seeing if you have ever seen this. New client, new server, EXE opens and gives an error (xppfatal) as soon as a dbf is going to be opened. Tested again by using a separate folder here and it works, copied those same files into a folder there with all the same dll files and same xppfatal error.

Files do open using xdot. No index file on that first file, which is a control file with a single record.

So it appears that the exe may not be the issue (ie, being blocked) if xdot opens the same file(s). Just very odd.

Cannot think of any setting on the server or firewall that would cause that.

Their hardware guy is going to be there tomorrow.

Something every day it seems...

if you are not calling xdot from inside your exe, i would guess it's a data driver issue..

what's the xppfatal error ??

Just very odd.

Yes, it is very odd. I don't have any ideas.
If you set up the server for remote access via RDP and call me, maybe I can figure it out.

Hi,

Right click on the app and select 'run as administrator'. If it is working at that moment it has something to do with rights. Your application can't open your DBF files in READ/WRITE mode. Windows is blocking it.

Figured it out. All the files without indexes had an index attached to it from somebody's mis-typed copy command. Most of the initial files for our apps are files with single records. Sorry to bother...
