What I want to do is to use Rbase
6.5+ (single user, Build 1.839xRT03) data in Excel 2000, via Oterro 2.0. I
did the following:
1. I built a Rbase data
source (System DSN) in Windows 98 ODBC Data Source Administrator using Oterro
2.0. I named this data source
“Rbase4Excel”.
2. The Rbase database has the
following ODBC-compliant settings:
IDQUOTES `
QUOTES '
PLUS +
SEMI ;
MANY %
SINGLE _
3. In Excel 2000, I selected
Data – Get External Data -- New Database Query, and chose “Rbase4Excel” as
the data source.
The path shown is correct for the
data source, and I supplied the correct password for the data
source.
Upon clicking the OK button, the
following RBase error messages popped up in the MS Query message
box:
-Error- The database cannot be
opened for recovery (1133)
-Error- The current user identifier
will not allow access to any table (2318)
When I clicked OK,
another error message said “Couldn’t read this file”.
The second attempt produced the
following RBase error messages, shown in the MS Query message box:
-Error- Encountered an invalid
transaction id number (2341)
-Error- The database is in a state
which requires the recovery program (2405)
