I have found a partial solution. SET MOUSE TO 1

Thanks for the replies. I have in effect followed your advice and have the date corrected in the database.

The main database has a field Cal that is Character It stores the record's date in the UK format: dd/mm/yy I need to add some 900 records to it from a Open office spreadsheet. When I save the spreadsheet as a dbf file it changes the cal to mm/dd/yy. I have tried set date Brit. It makes no...

I am using Foxpro under dosbox, a linux emulator. Within FP applications the mouse is sloppy. It waves about rather than moving promptly to its destination. In a dosbox conference it was suggested that it was a bug in FP. I wonder if anyone here knows how to adjust the mouse's response. I have...

I tried without success to install frontpage, because I had installed the SR3 via a magazine disk. During the installation of frontpage I was asked to put in the SR3 CD. Of course it was not able to read it. How do I get round this problem? There is a subdirectory that has the SR3 within it. Is...

Thanks for your reply * My comments Hi, Robin I'm not sure I understand the configuration. You mean you have TCP/IP support on the 3.12 server? That is unusual, but I guess it is possible. * I have tcp/ip for other reasons on the network. TCP/IP is not being used as the login protocol When...

The workstation is a Sony Vaio connected to the Novell 3.12 server using the MS networking not Novell's. THe connection is via a D-Link PC Card. I attempted to install a USB modem today. It did not work but crashed the Sony. Now I can not log into the server through IPX although it is being...

Thank you for you help so far. Do you have any experience of an error message that flashes past on the screen when the server starts patching? It is something like: Invalid configuration ...ptc312 And yet the patch are in 312ptc and the lines in start.ncf refer to the correct directory. I...

I am still not loading the patches properly. It was better today in that I reinstalled the system and public files from the CD and then reinstalled the patch 312ptd. The load went wrong when one of the NLMs gave the Richard Keil Memorial Abend. The loading refused to move further inviting...

That was really helpful. I will try it tomorrow! Thanks.

Thanks. I am still having problems getting the nlms to load. They go past so fast that I can not read the error messages. I have tried reinstalling the patches but they still fail to run. I think it is something to do with the default settings being over ridden by the previous installation. A...

As a result of an ill advised patch to the server.exe I can not connect the server to the workstations, and most of the nlms are not loading. For 3 years I have had no problem with 3.12, then a commercial program that uses MS access would not allow me to delete the records. The server showed...
