[comp.windows.ms] Need help with Superbase4

psyeoh@ubvmsd.cc.buffalo.edu (Lam Yeoh) (08/06/90)

I'm trying to do some work in Superbase4 under Windows 3.0.  I am trying
to write a DML routine to do some file manipulation.  I find that running
the DML routine and then making changes, saving it and running it again
in a repeated cycle while I test things will eventually crash and return
me to the Program Manager.  Does anybody know a way around this?

When it does crash, restarting Superbase4 does not permit access to the
database that I was using.  I get an error message "Instance in use".  I
have to quit Windows completely to be allowed to access the file again.
How can I access the file without having to leave Windows?

Another problem I have is when I set a filter on a required field.  The
DML routine cycles through the file properly until it gets to the end.
Then it halts with a message telling me that the field requires a value
and dumps me into the editor.  What am I doing wrong to cause this?

Thanks for your help.

I'm trying to take hold of reality, but somebody keeps moving it :-)
