**Help** How do I access the DB inside an EXE

Post by Daniel Spiess or Petra Low » Fri, 07 Feb 1997 04:00:00



Hi,

I've received a program that I need to rewrite for windows.  The original
programmers are nowhere to be found.  The program has a DB inside the exe
that I need to access.  How do I get to it, or is a hex editor my only
hope?  Any suggestions would be welcome.  

Thanks in advance,  (email preferred)

what exactly do you mean by "DB inside the EXE"? This doesn't make much
sense.....

DB's reside either on a server or in an extrnal file....do you mean the
code to access the DB?

A bit over one Mb.  Why?

1. Help needed with ONLINE HELP system inside .EXE file

I'm having trouble with my help system.  I know that I'm creating my
own help database correctly and when I issue a set help to file.dbf,
it then works when I issue a help from the command window.

However, from within my program, I do this and the help window comes up
blank (sometimes) or doesn't come up at all.  I have the helpfilter off and
set help on, also.  I have the F1 key set to help (using ON KEY LABEL F1 HELP)
early on.

I'm using mostly popup menus and browses (and a few user screens) for this
application.  Why is it that my help is not working correctly?  Sometimes
it will even lock up on me.

Any ideas?

Thanks - Herb
