CW50 Enterprise edition & professional edition
A code 47 error means that your file definition doesn't match the actual
physical file. You edited the file with Enterprise and apparently made
changes. Did you go and alter the physical file to match these changes?
My guess is no.
Go into the dictionary and find the file that is giving you trouble. bring
up the PROPERTIES and look at the full file name. what do you have?
Anything?
I'd almost guess you've left this blank. If blank, the program generally
will create the data files in the same directory as the application.
You need to track down where this file is and I'd recommend hard-wiring your
file path (at least for now) to the proper drive/directory to prevent
confusion.
Once you've got your full path name filled in, to test the structure of the
data file, back out of PROPERTIES in the data dictionary and hit the BROWSE
button. It will either load the file or come back with a Code 47 error. If
you can't BROWSE the file from inside the data dictionary, your compiled
application will not run against it properly either.
If you crash with a code 47 error here, I'd suggest using the IMPORT feature
under FILE in the data dictioary and pulling in the strucutre of the file
and comparing it to what you think it is to get the two file back in synch
with your data dictionary again.
It really sounds like this wasn't an ENTERPRISE to professional problem
(although I can't confirm that). it really sounds like you've altered the
data dictionary from what the physical file is and now probably have several
different copies of the file around. Unless you hard-wire the paths, it is
possible to get a version that the data dictionary BROWSE sees, and one or
more versions that the compiled program sees (depending upon how your
shortcuts get altered and played with).
If the data in this file is of no value, hardwire the file path, delete the
file and then use the BROWSE button in the data dictionary to recreate an
empty file. Your application should then run against it properly.
