I tried to copy the files to another portable hard drive I have and the windows error message I received was cannot copy (database name) : data error (cyclic redundancy check)
Any ideas? Should I still rename the file? I have a backup although I would have to recreate some data. I also have R:scope for 7.6 Herman -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Herman Kuszmerski Sent: Sunday, November 22, 2009 12:27 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: unable to connect database ( 7) Mike, Checked the properties but no problem. They are all checked correctly and nothing is "read only" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J.

The bottom choice is "Properties". Left click on "Properties". Another window will pop up. The bottom choice will be "Attributes" with 2 boxes called Read Only and Hidden. Uncheck both of them. Also, you will see a button called "Advanced". Click it. Make sure the top 2 boxes are checked, and the bottom 2 boxes are unchecked.

I do not see a properties tab. Herman -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael J.

Hope that helps.

Anything I can do? I don't know what "7" means. Herman
