Thanks MiggyD: That helps me a great deal. I have Excel from Office 2000 so it should work OK. First I have to build a faster computer to run Video Vision. I downloaded the demo onto another machine (P4 2.8 GHz with 512 MB ram) - it runs great. Of course with that much horsepower it...

Yes, good point dbMark. This occured to me as well. I think I may change it back to a length of 5. I mean if it took 10 years to reach invoice # 99,999; I've got another 10 years before this issue crops up again!!! Theoretically it would take 100 years to reach invoice # 999,999 -- so...

UPDATE: The mystery has been solved... Apparently the application had reached its maximum for the invoice numbers. The field is a numeric field with a length of 5, and the last invoice number in the IVC_HEAD database was 99,999. So I packed (actually I "zapped" -- LOL)the sucker and also...

Hi Again: Thanks for the suggestions. I tried to set the system date back a full year but the app still crashes. I have tried to contact the program writer but he can't be found... I'm going to keep plugging away at this thing. In the meantime this Video Vision program looks like it will do...

If you have no Access (nor any VBA) background/experience, then the 'learning curve' isn't too steep--it's sheer and vertical." LOL !!! I suspected that... I doubt that the problem is hardware or BIOS related because the program has been running on the same 486 for years without a hitch; no...

Hi tviman: Well, I have reindexed all databases many times and defragged/scandisked the HD three times all to no avail. Is there any software out there to "de" compile the program? In other words can we reverse-engineer and retrieve the source code from the executable? My only other option at...

Hi Miggy: Thanks for your quick response. There are no .PRG files that I can find. The main program is a .EXE file. All other files are .dbf or .ndx I'm pretty sure the program was written in dBase III plus as I recall once he can over with the source code on diskette - this was long ago. Why...

Hi All: We have been using DBASE III plus (or perhaps it is DBASE IV - its been so long I don't remember) for our video rental database program. The program was written for us in 1993 or 1994 and has been running great until yesterday. Whenever we try to rent out a movie the program crashes...
