We are trying out dbDOS PRO 6 with our dBase IV applications. Our dBase programs are on a network drive mapped to a drive letter. These are working OK. Many of them have a user table that grants different permissions according to the current user. The dbDOS PRO 6 tech support people showed me how to get the current user, but our original developer had code that looks like this: IF NETWORK() PC_ID = GETENV("USERNAME") ELSE PC_ID = "NOTNET" ENDIF The function NETWORK() is returning False rather than True in the dbDOS PRO 6 environment. Is there a way to fudge this to be TRUE? In a normal situation, I would change the code and recompile. But I am not a dBase person and I dread trying to track down all the prg files to compile into a DBO file. (The original programmers would compile many prgs into one DBO sometimes, left unused prgs sitting around, and no documentation, and then retired!) Thank you! | |
