Joe, How the heck do you remember what problem I had back in 2008? I can't even remember what happened last week!
Deleting the cutil.mdb file did the trick. I am still running Vista, but have DXB2007 installed at the root level, not in Program Files so there is no Virtual Store problem. Thanks again for bailing me out of yet another conundrum. 73, Gary AL9A ----- Original Message ----- From: Joe WA6AXE To: a...@mtaonline.net ; dxbase@mailman.qth.net Sent: October 05, 2012 6:37 PM Subject: RE: [Dxbase] Compact database error Gary, DELETE the file entitled: cutil.mdb Joe wa6axe > From: a...@mtaonline.net > To: dxbase@mailman.qth.net > Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2012 16:49:58 -0800 > Subject: [Dxbase] Compact database error > > Well, I've finally run into a DXB error message that has me stumped. I am trying to use the DXBase Utility to Compact my mdb database file. I have exited from DXBase and made a backup copy, but when I attempt to run the compact utility I get the following error message. > > Dxbutility > > Error creating temporary dbname > > The last time I tried to compact the database my computer seemed to hang up for an extended period of time so I closed the utility app. When I tried to restart my log it refused to load so I restored the mdb file from my uncompacted backup file and everything seemed normal. Apparently the abort of the compact utility left behind a temporary database file somewhere on my system, Vista 32. How do I clear this up so I can again compact my database before uploading to Clublog and my Dropbox account? > > 73, > Gary AL9A > ______________________________________________________________ > Dxbase mailing list > Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase > Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm > Post: mailto:Dxbase@mailman.qth.net > > This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net > Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Dxbase@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
