(WIN 5.0) - Baffled Beyond Belief!

(WIN 5.0) - Baffled Beyond Belief!

Post by Andrea Hoe » Tue, 25 Apr 1995 04:00:00



I've been trying to rewrite a (very inefficient) application which was
originally created in DBase several years ago into a Paradox 5.0 app.  The
Dbase table has 2 <Memo/BLOB> fields which need to come in as memo fields.
Each time I attempt to copy the file to a new one, I get an error message
*Corrupted BLOB field* and nothing happens.  

For some reason, I was once able to get 167 records into the target table.
This is out of a total 6670 records.  I tried deleting several records from
167 on, thinking that maybe they were the corrupted records.  However, this
had no effect.  I have even exported the table into both a .wk1 and
delimited files, but the memo fields get dropped.  I've even created a new
table with identical structure and appended records into it, but receive
the same message.

For any light shed on this problem, I am exceedingly thankful!

I do not understand "copy". Paradox should be able to directly read the
the *.dbf file. The Paradox copy utility should allow you to copy the
file to an *.db file (4.5/5.0 format).

 
 
 

1. MMC S L O W beyond belief - HELP

Hi.  Please help if you have any ideas.
I recently had to uninstall and reinstall my local version of SQL7 and OLAP
server on my local NT workstation.  All went well. (SQL7/OLAP/Addins + SP2)

Now when I use MMC to access our production OLAP server through MMC EACH
operation within MMC ONLY takes 60 seconds or so (that is EVERY time I
expand a tree element 60 seconds goes by before anything happens).  Using
MMC to connect to my local OLAP system is crisp.  Using MMC to connect to
the production SQL7 server remains crisp.  HELP PLEASE. Using our existing
WEB pages to connect to the production OLAP services also remains crisp.
ONLY MMC for OLAP Services is slow. agggggggh.
