When I run my part through, normally, it sends the stats to Datapage at the end of the program. Now, I'm getting an error message: "Cant open dbd File - Error 5". HELP!
I have no idea how to navigate through DOS. I'm not even sure where it's located.
Rookie! Just kidding. I started 'playing' with computers in the 1970's (late 1970's) and worked DOS for un-counted years. Started working with Pcdmis & Datapage when they were DOS (and Windows 3.1 was not even out yet). I still do some stuff in DOS, I have some VERY HANDY batch files that set up all my directories for each new job as it comes in (open the COMMAND PROMPT WINDOW or DOS PROMPT) and type in "NEWJOB 27586" (no quotes) and it creates the 6 major directories I may need as well as about 15 sub-directories. ALL using DOS conventions (8.3 names) and a couple more that will archive off all the data from all the created directories "archive 27586" and they are placed in the ARCHIVES directory and are ready to burn to DVD's. I even have one for recalling an archived job that has not been purged (archived but not burned and deleted) to put it all back into the proper places. Ah, dos is SWEET and easy. Same things can be done in VB as well.
