Hi
  I am compiling using clipper 5.02 on a network, and compiling with
  pre-linked libraries. When I try to run my .EXE file without clipper
  installed I get the following error when it tries to open one of
  the last indexes
            DBFNTX/1003, Open error CRSDLVBL.NTX (Dos error 4)
  If I choose 'Default' the program continues normally. Also, if
  I install clipper into memory the problem is cured. I have been
  told that I could have a corrupted index (which I don't) or that
  I should try to compile without PLLs (which I'd prefer to avoid
  in order to save space). Any advice?
  Thanks in anticipation :)

:             DBFNTX/1003, Open error CRSDLVBL.NTX (Dos error 4)

DOS Error 4 is 'Not Enough File Handles Available'. The index will not
have been opened and if records have been added or key fields have been
changed, it will be out of step with the DBF.

You need to increase the number of file handles available. Use the files=
command in CONFIG.SYS and make sure that you have an environment setting
similar to

            SET CLIPPER=//F:<nHandles>

for example,

           SET CLIPPER=//F:50

The SET CLIPPER setting can be 'burnt' into the EXE if you are using
Blinker (which you are obviously not).

Note that if you are shelling out of Windows to run your program, that is
another 12 or so file handles as a minimum.
