Back in the days when Windows gave us long file names and DOS didn't know what to do with them the "Docum~1" came to pass. I assumed Windows kept a cross reference table of both names. I don't know if it was dynamic or stayed assigned for the life of the path. "Docum~1" would be ...

I thought about using an external drive but aren't I going to have the same issue? This is just a Windows network with WB running on a shared folder mapped with a drive letter. The external drive would have to be shared by whatever workstation it is plugged into and if that workstation was XP home i...

I found the answer to my own question. 5 max on XP Home and 10 max on XP Pro.

I just moved WB from an XP Pro "server" to an XP Home "server" and now can only have 5 drive mappings to "shared" drive. I realize this is not a BRules problem but an XP problem but is 5 the maximum number of sharings you can have in XP Home? Is there any configuration ...

I have a wb.exe dated 12/27/1991 at 335kb. It is version 3.52a. It runs on my current XP Pro. I believe those were licensed per install disk and you were pretty much able to copy them anywhere. Mine opened fine. It may only be a single user license. You may have a Novell version? My later 3.61 Novel...

Thanks... I have been using the windows highlighting in 3.9x and the F7 too. The F7 still works in 4.xx but it's less "visual".

Pete

That works for me. I will make the changes in all my programs that are both stand alone and called as libraries. Someone should be sure to document this INCOMPATIBILITY between versions 3.9x and prior and the 4.xx versions. Fortunately I only have to worry about myself as my only customer. Is the fa...

This isn't violating the rule that a libaray cannot be called with RELEASE while it is still in memory from a non-RELEASE call because there NEVER was a non-RELEASE call. ALL my library calls have RELEASE. That's been my point in this entire discussion so why the error? Even 3.91f gives me that erro...

This is the "stand alone" code that can be loaded and RUN... This will RUN in 3.91f with or without the RELEASE on line 10 This will only RUN in 4.18i without the RELEASE on line 10 0010 LIBRARY RELEASE,"LIB_PROG" : FNLIBCALL 0020 LET FNLIBCALL 0030 DEF LIBRARY FNLIBCALL 0040 PRI...

I have never used RESERVE and all my library calls within the program use RELEASE. The program will only run stand alone in 4.18i without the RELEASE. I haven't yet tried calling it from another program. 00010 LIBRARY RELEASE, "MPVENMNT/MPPROG" : FNVENMNT 00020 LET FNVENMNT(WRC$) 00030 DEF...

I was thinking more along the lines of "great dedication" which is why we were "choosen to serve" versus "excessive complusive" or the "get a life" theory. In my case the last two might be the more correct tag. Back to topic... Most of my file maintenance prog...

It also seems strange that 3 of the 5 BRG directors are working on a Sunday evening. This may explain things...

Just my thoughts...

Pete

George: If your thinking is correct then a stand alone file maintenance program called as a library from other programs should be called with a RELEASE in order for the variables in the file maintenace program to not interfere with the calling program variables. However in this situation it technica...

It works if I remove the RELEASE. I can have mixed LIBRARY statements within the program with or without RELEASE but the program itself can't have a RELEASE.

Pete

Program works 3.91f but errors in 4.18i 00010 LIBRARY RELEASE, "MPVENMNT/MPPROG" : FNVENMNT The issue seems to be that the entire progam is a LIBRARY. If I remove the outer LIBRARY references it works. I have many file maintenance programs being run stand alone and as library calls from da...
