I'll email you the patch exe and the .hlp file (in a zip file). Just remember after doing the patch to copy the new help file over the old one - then re-boot b/4 launching VDB7.01
BTW - I emailed DBI (dbase.com) and made a brief business case letting them know I'm building a custom app, the...
I installed my VDB7 onto my wife's new laptop w/2GB RAM and it works fine - as it does on my PC. I didn't run the patch on hers... so...
Not sure what the patch does. It also comes with a new help file you copy over your exiting one once the patch is run.
I can send you the patch and the help...
Excellent information Dave! Thank you again for your digence and sharing. BTW - I've got a lot done on the UI... nearly done (well, they're never really, ever done LOL)!
Thx Dave - I hear the two are similar as well. I was linking the .mnu correctly... and had MDI = false (which its supposed to be).
So, I set it to True and saved... and still no menu. Then I set MDI to false again, saved and then it came up! I think my VDB is buggy - time to...
Excellent Dave! I have good success in the Excel 04 save to .dbf
However, I will try your Excell 2007 import and export. The more I can do within the application - the better... There will be a number of people using my UI. The less manual file conversion - the less chance for user errors.
I...
Dave - I figured out the Excel 2006 challenge. It doesn't offer the dbase save as option... so, I used my wife's MS Office 2003 Excel and there it was!!! It works in what I'm doing... Thx again for that signal to try...
Had I know this defincency in my Office 2006 - I would have been done with...
Thank you Dave... I used to append comma delimited txt files into dbfs and parse them out into secondary, structured dbfs more than I care to remember... I never appended CSV or SDA files though.
I keep getting an "unauthorized phrase CSV" error. My test dbf has all the field names and...
DG & JC - much appreciated for the well informed feedback. Its been several years since I've parsed comma delimited files within dbf apps so I'm brushing (or brusing) up and trying to avoid that scene here all together.
What I have are 6 similar but different xls sheets that currently come to...
In response to the below help request, I have had VDB 7.01 on my PC for 3 years now. I upgraded my RAM from 512MB to 2GB a year ago and have not encountered any startup issues. However, I have always used an earlier patch that upgraded it from 7.0 to 7.01 - and that may be a possible solution. I...
I have tried a generic routine (shared app from another forum) to import an Excel spreadsheet content into a Visual dBase (7.01) table. I keep getting an error that the table is not found. However, I know it hits the xls file because it has locked the xls file on a few occasions.
I'm trying to...
