NT WS Tweaks to run a Dbase III app??

[FredWagner]

I am trying to run a Dbase III app on an NT 4.0 Workstation, and get &quot;Error DBFNTX/1001 Open Error Fleetdept.DBF (Dos Error 2)&quot; when trying to start the app. If I choose ignore, I can also get &quot;Error DBCMD/2001 Workarea not in use:ORDCREATE&quot;, and then the first error on other DBF files. I'm trying a custom environment, up to FILES=225, environment size of 2048, allowing High Memory, etc. Before I did these tweaks, I got &quot;Error DBFNTX/1003 Open Error:FleetAc2.nts (Dos&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Error 4)&quot; on the first file.<br>Suggestions please, what can I do to eliminate the errors and get the app to run? <p>Fred Wagner<br><a href=mailto:frwagne@ci.long-beach.ca.us>frwagne@ci.long-beach.ca.us</a><br><a href= > </a><br>

First you need to know if this app is trying to access hardware - any hardware. Since it probably is - it isn't going to work. NT does not allow direct access to hardware and older DOS apps tend to need to access hardware directly. Why don't you run this on a DOS PC or a dual-boot setup?
