Subject Re: Some newbie advise ? From Patrick <patrick.kox@skynet.be> Date Sun, 17 Jan 2010 11:05:42 +0100 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Geoff thanks for the reply, I've started over from the beginning and I notice some stranger behaviour. When I close dQuery without saving first I get a message asking to save and when I choose Yes and enter a name I get a bunch of those error message. But when I cancel and save from the File menu it doesn't seem to give error messages which is pretty strange IMHO Also I'm not sure but the Navigator pointed to the wrong directory, I stated again as I said and assumed that the navigator would automatically point to the C:\dBASEtutorial\ directory but instead it pointed to E:\dBase\test which is the folder I made to play a bit with the program. I'm not sure but maybe that caused some of the error messages ? Anyway, I saw a post here that they are working on 2.62 (or is it 2.6.2 ?) which should run better on Vista/win7 then the curent one. There is a message on the dBase site that says that 2.61.5 automatically installs correctly for Vista/Win7 but that's just to elevate it to Admin rights. I also noticed that the example program that comes with the tutorial also need Admin rights to run which I hope will be fixed in a next version of dBase plus.
