Clipper error 1015

[fbizzell]

I get the following error at run time:

Clipper Subsystem DBCD, Error #1015, Argument Error

I have no idea what is causing this error. Any ideas?

Okay I haven't the answer - but what version of Clipper. and have you tried running with the debugged or with displayed debug lines in to see the area the application fails?

I'm sure we've had this before and will check round the office

Might have the answer.

I beieve you may have included other DBF drivers (libs) but not REQUESTED them to load. BJJJB

The most common cause of this error is incorrect usage of the VIA clause.

USE <.dbf> VIA &quot;<rdd>&quot;

When using the VIA clause with the USE command, always make sure the RDD name is in &quot;quotes&quot; and spelled correctly.
To open a TEST.DBF using the
SIx Driver's SIXCDX flavor, the correct syntax would be:

USE test VIA &quot;SIXCDX&quot;

Another possible cause for this error is attempting to use an RDD that has not been linked into your application. The default RDD (normally DBFNTX, unless SIXCDX.OBJ, SIXNSX.OBJ, SIXMDX.OBJ, or SIXNTX.OBJ have been linked in) is automatically linked into your application. All others must be explicitly declared with the REQUEST command.

Thanks for these ideas. I am researching the problem further. The application was running find until I tried to add the Advantage Database Server into the mix. I am using ADS on other applications without a problem. So it is somewhere in there about ADS that probably is causing the problem.
