Roger,

Guess I give up. Our new ADS client can open ADS ok, but does not open any files after connecting. Think its the related to dbesys and the ADS version. Cannot connect from xdot using the load under any circumstances, but can work if I do ads /a. Not sure what difference it makes. They have paid many thousands of dollars for ADS 50-users, did not ask how $$$, and had no problems with our former clients, but they all have an older version of everything. (guess that should not matter since xdot /a works)

using xdot it shows using ads database, but our dbesys show foxdbf,etc. Think that may be the issue, but unsure. Just wore out at this point.

Hoping you are around to assist late tuesday or wednesday. I should send you on a vacation.

Thanks, again

Hi Fred, could you see the ads.ini file?

Yes, the ads.ini file was copied from another user with same set up. The system is using ads, but ADS is just opening files individually like xbase, which really does not help. Not acting like a real client server. Shows errors in the root folder, (7000 is code)



[SETTINGS]
ADS_SERVER_TYPE=3
ADS_INDEX_TYPE=CDX
ADS_AXS_LOCKING=No

Am I able to connect to the failing system via Teamviewer?

[omni]

Yes, via me when convenient. I will not be in from 1030-330 eastern, but am later and all day tomorrow. We use remote access from my pc.

I know you are a couple of hours earlier than eastern.

We can set a time if you want and I will confirm via email

Roger, I followed up with an email. Thanks

Interesting information, I think.

No files show open using arc, except when a user creates a file using the

Select into filename from database

The new filename (work file) and database appear open on arc. So ads is running but not as a server(?)

[omni]

Got it working. I think

I didn't get any email from you.

Hello, you can put the following in the ads.ini file
[85.214.206.173]
LAN_IP = 85.214.206.173
LAN_PORT = 6262
Where the LAN_IP is that of the server, change the LAN_PORTt if you use another.

Greetings
