ALL:
I was working with a DXbase2007 user this morning -- He had installed
DXbase2007 to the DEFAULT install location (Windows7) - vice installing to a directory
of it's own right off of C:\ drive root directory ... So, in this situation,
my exe program RAN OK -- but, because DXbase2007 HAD BEEN installed
into the DEFAULT directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Scientific Solutions\DXbase 2007)
-- and because of the CODING that I made in my exe program -- the
procfile.txt REPORT (the real txt file) ended up being located in the
VirtualStore Folder (DXbase) ...
So, knowing that when a user is in THIS situation, I am going to program
the next release - so that the procfile.txt file is written/saved in the
location where your LOGBOOK mdb file is located (not where your Refdata file is located)
-- and we can see how this will work for the Windows7 (Default install) users.
>From what I can see right now -- my exe program WILL work on ALL
platforms -- just that the VISTA/Windows7 DEFAULT installation users
will have to remember that THOSE operating systems do some actions
that are not what we remember with WindowsXP ...
