Subject Re: CODE WORKS IN NATIVE DBASE, BUT NOT COMPILED DBASE From Lee Grant <camilee@nospam.comcast.net> Date Sun, 27 Nov 2022 23:52:57 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Ed, It sounds like you're missing a whole bunch of other information for these guys to try and understand what the problem is. Which version of Crystal Reports. Which version of dBASE? DOS? IV? etc. Just off the top of my head, it sounds like you have an interface problem between your dBASE version (compiled program) and the Crystal Reports program you're using. How it's being delivered from dBASE IDE and working, to delivered from dBASE compiled program and not working, seems to be something you need to provide more answers to.  You almost are phrasing these questions like everyone already knows what you're doing and has all the answers ready made for you, without you providing much background. So................... Take a deep breath, and collect the necessary information before throwing up your hands and assuming everyone else knows what your hardware, software and programs do. We don't.  We don't know if you're trying to use Alias's, that you've compiled in the program (which if I remember right doesn't work) Since it works from the IDE, I suspect something of this nature might be the issue...but I don't because you haven't posted this information so I'm sure the real experts here are just as confused about what it is you're using and doing. :( Lee On 11/27/2022 12:20 PM, ed furche wrote: <snip> >> > The period doeesn\'t matter either way.  I wasn\'t specific about the main problem. > The Crystal report works perfectly if given a database to report from. > The problem is that the  compiled program wont produce records for the  file like the native dbase program can. > > I will provide the dbf to use in the code.  It Is called \'CHEK.DBF\".  The initials are only to allow the programmer to access the Crystal report before the temp file is deleted. > > > >
