Is anyone having the same issues as me? Just working with the EDB
server and EDB Manager in WinXP Professional SP2 and everytime I try to
either create a database, a table, a user, drop any of these or migrate
a DBIsam v4 database, I get some kind of error (either a EDB 600 error,
9999 error or others.)  Most of the time when I perform one of these
tasks I get the error and if I exit from EDB manager then reenter it
and connect to the session, the changes I made, which created the
error, are there.

I'm now trying to tackle migrating a DBIsam v4 database on a remote
server. The EDB Server is on a server machine (not my development
machine) and is the same one I run DBIsam server v4.24 on. I can ping
it and there are no permission issues (I have administrator
privileges.) The migration module shows all the DBIsam v4 tables and
all are checked to migrate over to EDB so I know it is reading the
server. Whether I create the folder (on the server machine) or try to
have EDB create it I get an EDB #600 File Manager (Cannot create file
Z:\Apps\MyApplication\MyApplication..edbcat (OS Error: The system
cannot find the path specified.) I have UNC naming as well as a mapped
drive (as illustrated here) but I always get this error. The catalog
does not seem to get created.

Tim...anyone...any suggestions?

Oops...should read

"I have *tried using* UNC naming as well as*using* a mapped drive (as
illustrated here) but I always get this error. The catalog does not
seem to get created."

Jan

Just a further FYI, when I stated that I have Administrator privileges
I fear I was a little ambiguous. I am referring to the OS as well as
EDB.

There's a locate issue that exists with remote connections, so don't do any
DDL over a remote connection or you'll get an AV and then more errors.

How are you creating the database ?  Also, are the double periods in the
catalog file name above from the actual message or is it a typo ?

Oh...OK. Just trying to get a feel for the preview. No problem.

Using the "Create New Database" menu option. Most likely the problem is
because I am trying to do it remotely, not being aware of the locate
issue with remote connections. The double period is just a
typo...sorry. The rest of the message is verbatim (except the
"MyApplication" is substituted for my real database info.)
