I'm in odd waters at the moment, on XP (which is left over on a FreeBSD laptop; I've never actually owned a windows machine, ever . . .)
Anyway, this application has compiled and run as a mac standalone for years, and as a windows standalone compiled mac-side at some point in the past. I have a three line sequence answer "trying to open " & prefsFilNam put revOpenDatabase("sqlite", prefsFilNam , , , , ) into prefsDb answer "got: " & prefsDb The directory in the pathname exists, and actually gets successfully created a few lines previous if it doesn't exist (i've removed to check this). OK, it's a bug, bug 14838 <http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14838> that I just filed. The dlls are not landing where the should, as set out in the bug text below. Is there a way to work around this until its patched? Move files (I've tried putting the dlls in the same directory as the executable, and putting the folder of them there, to no avail. The standalone compiles and places revpdfprinter.dll and revsecurity.dll in the same folder as the executable. Also created is an "externals" folder containing revdb.dll and folder database_drivers, which in turn contains dbpostgresql.dll and sqlite.dll (the two types selected in standalone settings). Nonetheless, revOpenDatabase() causes an error (rather than returning an errorcode). The code works without problem in the IDE on both mac and windows, and has worked in mac executables for years. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
