Hello and Help!
I just finished loading HC 2.0 and converted a stack that is the main
application used on this mac. It is a front end stack for an Oracle
database. On the first card of this stack is a button called "Log On"
that starts up the Oracle database (if necessary) and logs the user on.
There are two commands to start up the Oracle database. They are:
send "loadOracle" to "hard:Oracle:System Stack"
send "startOracle" to "hard:Oracle:System Stack"
When I click on the "Log On" button, I get a Hypercard error box with
the informative message: "Can't understand this.". If I look at the script,
the cursor is pointing to the first "send" message above.
Did something change in HC 2.0 which affects the functioning of the "send"
command? I looked at the new Hypertalk Reference stack and the format of
the send command looks ok based on that.
If anyone has a clue as to what the problem is, can you please contact me
ASAP by private e-mail. I cannot call Oracle for support because I do not
have support - their annual support fees exceed the price I paid for the
software (a gripe I will not bore you with...). Anyways, I am now stuck:
I had to remove the old HC to make room on my hard disk for the new stuff.
I have my old diskettes as well as copies of the stacks I converted, but
I'd prefer not to go backwards if I can avoid it!
Thanks in advance.
