Hi Ians, thanks for the instruction. I forot about that, now I recall there is something in there. regards, Larry

Sorry, the complete code should read like this: Use price shared new if neterr() @ say ... "Cannot open file, try later..." else dbappend() if neterr() @ say ... "soneone updating, try later..." else replace the fields... endif endif regards, Larry

Hi again, The following codes in my program keep adding a new blank record when someone in the network have FLOCK to the database, ---------------------------------- Use price shared new dbappend() if neterr() @ say ... "soneone updating, try later..." else replace the fields... endif...

Hi, TonHu Thanks for the source. I heard about it, but never get into it because someone said it need a C compiler and I don't have it. regards, Larry

Hi, Jock As you mention, the only solution (I think) in clipper is using 2 dimen array. But we lost readability that we have to use index nunmber to represent a field. But in Pascal(which I had learnt 10 years ago), it is very easy to represent an entire table. For example in Pascal: Local...

OOP! for TONHU, I am using plain Clipper 5.3 (I don't know which version A/B?), no any addon library, usually link with exospace. thanks again. Larry

Thanks for the reply guys, it is a great place for non-professional like me to get help. Actually, it was my fault. I guess the variable init is incorrect. Now, I fix it and it is working fine now. Here is the whole line: M_PAX_NAME[I] := space(25) @ M_T_ROW+I, 2 get M_PAX_NAME[I] picture...

Hi, programers I need a small help regarding scrolling with GET command. One of my memory variable is 25 char length. Due to space limitation on the screen, I wanted to do a prompt imput for this variable with 10 char spaces (but still let user input upto 25 char by scrolling to the left), so I...

Rob, Thanks for the advise. I was looking for a way to make Dbase VI style multi tags in a single index file. I thought Clipper does not have it, cause I just did not pay attention to the documentation, I guess. Wow! I have to rewrite the whole program to use dbfcdx, that will keep me busy for...

Hi Rob, Is that included in the 5.3 pkg or do I have to purchase the additional driver? thanks. Larry

Hi, Jock, Your are right, I am using DBFNTX. I am rewriting the PACK procedure with different approach, lets see what the result. If it still fail, then your method is a good one: just pack the dbfs without the NTXs and then recreat the NTXs afterward. I will post the result of what I found...

Thanks Rob for the quick reply. As your advise, I may have to rewrite a stand alone program to do just packing, hopefully it will work. Yes, I did have the exclusive lock before packing. In that procedure, it open the first dbf with exclusive lock, if it is sucesful, then continue open the...

Hi, about 8 years ago, I have wrote a Clipper program using Clipper 5.01 for my own company. At time time I used Rmake, and Rtlink. It contained 4 DBFs and around 10 indexes. The largest DBF file contained around 200 thousand records. The program has a procedure for packing all files and it...
