I recently installed win95 on a workstation connected to a Novell 4 Netware server. The workstation previously ran win 3.1. I am told that vdbase 5.5 gave a bit of trouble( difficulty finding files on server) I reinstalled vdbase after win95 so it would be registered. Vdbase is installed on the workstation as before and the prgs, queries, tables, indeces, databases are on the server. When I execute vbase 5.5 it starts up. When I select a file from the network to use and click o.k. I get an error message dbase has executed an illegal command. Because it was Friday and the staff need to use the files Monday a.m., I copied all the vdbase files from the server to the workstation. Vdbase works fine with the files on the workstation. The network seems to work o.k. e.g. word 97 and other apps have no difficulty with files on the server. Old Dos ACCPAC runs fine and it is installed on the server. I have read the network section in the vdbase manual, but it doesn't say much. Someone must have run into this problem before. I would sure appreciate suggestions. Robert Harrison robhar@bmts.com
