Thanks My advice to you, as not many people still know how to work well with the windows command line, is to get and use one of the sqlite GUIs that let you use sqlite databases using a graphical manager. Just select one in the http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=ManagementTools page, preferably an open source one (I'm sure there are good ones that deserve the money one pays for them, but it's stupid to pay before you know the limitations of the free alternatives). The reason I don't explain why your way doesn't work is because if you don't know what a PATH is then it's hard to say how to open a command line and start typing DOS commands.

The error message you are getting is being generated because the directory where you placed the SQLite files is not defined in your PATH variable so they cannot be found from the Run window. To modify the PATH variable in XP: 1. Right click on My Computer. 2. Select 'Properties' 3. Click the 'Advanced' tab. 4. Locate the 'Environment Variables' button and click it. 5. On the bottom half of the screen under 'System Variables' select 'Path' (you may have to scroll down to find the the Path variable). 6. Click the 'Edit' button. 7. Add the directory where you placed the SQLite files (make sure you include a semicolon (;) before the new entry). While not advisable, you can also copy/move the SQLite files to a directory already defined in the PATH variable and running the SQLite3.exe should work. I haven't worked with Win98 in a long time so I'm not sure where the Environment Variables settings are located for that OS.

CD to the folder that contains the EXE's and try it from the command prompt. That error suggests Windows doesn't know where SQLite3.exe is so, you may want to try C:\Sqlite3.exe or wherever the path is. Personally, I think you need to open a command prompt and work from there and not try doing the "Run" thing till you get the command prompt version working. -- Best regards, Tegmailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -
Re: [sqlite] Problem opening a new SQLite3 database file
What folder are you in at the command prompt when you type "SQLite3 mydatabase.db3"? Does it actually contain SQLite3.exe? If not, you need to specify the full path, or navigate to the folder first.
