REALLY appreciate the help, man. Before I tackle this, a few quick questions come to mind: 1. Currently, there's nothing in Apps\GoldMine\Setup\GoldMine. So, do I just copy gm4setup.exe into it? 2. BDE is on the 98 workstation from the GM install. I'd just as soon remove it if I don't need...

Actually, Steck did give me those command lines that you gave me. I made a mistake entering them in my GM.INI (I had the first line right but the second line just said COMMON= instead of COMMONDIR=.) I also made a mistake posting it on the forum, since I inaccurately reflected what I had. As it...

You know... you can really piss somebody off by showing up so late in the game... And having all the answers, no less. :-) Well, fine then. We need to buy you an alarm clock so you show up on a more timely basis next time. :-) Assuming the command lines you gave me work, and I'm sure they...

Well, it's failing again, so forget everything I said. At least the XP installation is working fine so far. Just can't get a workstation to work for very long.

I want to also say "Thank you so much" to you, patrichek, and the others as well, for all the help!! And also say that the consultant I mentioned, Steck, while being less than omniscient (all-knowing, all-seeing) was amazingly supportive and right there with me through the whole process, and...

I have finally gotten this all resolved and I want to clarify the steps for anyone who might encounter the same situation, which is trying to install GM4 under XP. The bottom line is that it DOES indeed run smooth as silk. The complications I ran into, it turns out, were solely due to the fact...

I have to rescind a lot of what I said. I was having a problem and I thought I got it solved but it's back. So maybe a lot of the steps above aren't even needed for most people. The problem I've been having is that on the workstation the computer gradually/quickly gets unruly and when I try to...

Well, I spoke too soon! Now, twenty or thirty hours of meticulous troubleshooting later... here's what I think will actually do it for anyone wanting to put GM4 onto an XP machine and use peer-to-peer networking. If it's an existing GM4 installation then the steps are to do what GM says to do...

SUCCESS!!! I'm happy to report that by following the instructions for installing on a network, making sure to create the folders and sharing and mapped drives as appropriate... and then overwriting EVERYTHING with the old W98 files, it worked like a charm! THANKS FOR YOUR HELP, MY FRIEND!!!

... and here's what my W98 GM4 folder structure looks like... www.silver100.com/x/misc/GM4-folders.gif Jay

Okay, found my notes. My installation consists of c:\Apps\GoldMine with all the program stuff, and then separately c:\Data\GoldMine\MyContactFile for all my custom data stuff. I also have a slightly newer version of GM4 than what's on my original CD, which I had downloaded; I guess I'll just...

>> If new User Defined Fields have been created and populated with data on the main/network GoldMine installation, and you want to synchronize them to another GoldMine system for the first time, synchronization of the User Defined Fields and Fields MUST be performed first. The steps listed...

I want to make this very clear so we're on the same page: I have two computers. One is a W98 machine I've had for a few years. It has had GM4 running on it all that time. (If a workstation uses GM, it runs it off of that machine.) I recently bought the second computer, an XP machine. I'm...

I'm not sure I understand the implications of canceling when it asks for the license. What I do know is that the number of licenses determines how many users can log in AT THE SAME TIME. You can have plenty of users with just one license, but only one can log in at any given time. At least...

patrichek, When you say you do installs on XP all the time and it's no big deal, is that with something as old as version 4 of GM? I don't sync at present. Just have the program and data on one main computer, installed/configured for multi-user use, and then workstations using just a desktop...

I should let you know, though, that while this consultant seems great and is very very nice and is intense about doing what they do and has clients who use GM4 on XP fine... They didn't seem to have had any direct experience moving someone over or installing GM4 on XP, and when they told me the...

Thanks, patrichek, A consultant in Chicago who FrontRange referred me to, who they say knows more about GM4 than anyone, told me she has a few clients who are running GM4 on XP with no problems. She says GM4 is one step above DOS in terms of complexity (or lack thereof) and that she's never...

And I suppose the Compatibility Wizard in XP is more problem than solution from what I've heard.

I'd like to know if GM 4 will run perfectly fine under XP. I have GM 4.00.9393 still running on my old W98 machine. I just put a new XP machine into the office and am really not anxious to upgrade GM yet because the structure will need some work. We have massive growth plans for our company but...

Running GM 4.00.9303 in W98. Been very stable for years. System froze and GM came back okay but few extra open windows disappeared (no prob, man!)... AND my customized toolbar with the icons that I took so long to select and arrange a few years ago was GONE! Back to a default toolbar. It's not...
