[Dxbase] Win 7 64 Bit & DXBase Misery

[Neal Campbell]

Hi Tom

Did you install DXB per my recommendations for Windows 7 (not in the Program
Files, etc.)? If not, it would explain some of these problems as Windows
protection of the Program Files directory will keep you from updating files
in its directory. This means that would you make a change, it doesn't update
the file, it writes a new file in another 'hidden' directory so when you
come back and run the program later, the old file is still there and read
again. This is called VirtualStore in Windows. It works pretty well during
one execution of a program but fails if you ever quit and restart the
program as all your changes have been lost!
