[DXBase] DATA CRASH ISSUE

2002年11月26日 08:38:26 -0600

There have been at least 3 revisions issued by MS against the Jet Engine v
4. AR-Cluster uses Jet 4.x and it is true there were problems initially,
but with the revisions it has become rock solid when used with AR-Cluster.
I have Office 97, thus I have the older version of Access which will work
with DXBase, but this is no longer offered for sale by MS to my knowledge.
So that is the compelling reason I would say. Perhaps you can tell me if
Office 2000 will still allow you to work with Jet 3.x and to save in that
format as well? My recollection is you can open 3.x but can't save in 3.x
format with the currently available Access.
