pszDictName contains full path of the file but VODBUseArea is always returning false. What could be the reasons ? How can I debug it ?
You can call _VoDbErrInfoPtr(), this will return an Exception object for the last error that happened, if there was any, it should give you all the info you need. Try _VoDbErrInfoPtr():Message first maybe.
Got the error "Could not find file 'File.DBT".
Yeah, DBT file is missing in the path. But I'm expecting to open a DBZ file, as per the code. Is there any way to open .DBZ files ?
What is the dbz file format? I searched for it but only found references for a compressed file format which does not seem to be relevant to xBase, or am I wrong about this?
Or are your files regular .dbf files that simply use the .dbz extension? In that case, I think your dbf includes a memo field, is that right? So you get the error when trying to open the .dbt file for this memo.
No, DBZ is a different kind of files containing pointer values to the DBV (Memo files). The problem is solved. I missed some RDD drivers related to working with DBV and DBZ files. Thankyou Chris for your replies
