Author Import - VISUAL DBASE HAS BECOME UNSTABLE

2005-12-18, 7:23 am

Hi all,

I get this error message in vdb 5.7 after importing a dbf file with 474 fields.

The export feature works oke but after import I get this error message

"VISUAL DBASE HAS BECOME UNSTABLE, DO YOU WISH TO SAVE YOUR WORK"

dbf files with only a 100 fields are no problem.

I use the normal import and export procedures

**export
COPY TO TEST.DBF ALL

**import
APPEND FROM TEST.DBF

Please advice

Herman

Could it be a table "Level" issue? Perhaps the BDE is set to Level 4.

From a list of table-related maximum values:

255 Number of fields per table (dBASE 4)
1024 Number of fields per table (dBASE for Windows)

Dear David,

Thanx for your reply.

The bde level is allready set to 5 - 1024

Herman, you can try increasing values of some BDE settings. For example,

maxbufsize: 8192
maxfilehandles: 200
memsize: 64
sharedmemsize: 8192

Dear David,

Thanx for your help but I still get the error. I used Dbase plus to get it work. Thanx anyway
