[AccessD] TransferText working sporadically.

Abra was upgraded to a newer version of Foxpro.  but I don't see how that
would affect the TransferText funtion from importing a text file into Abra.
He is going to try it from a Windows 2000 machine, to see if it's a quirk
with NT 4.0.

Hi Drew:

I have no specific knowledge of your site but as an outside observer this
would be my approach:

If it was a user I would ask (suspiciously, I might add) has there been any
recent upgrades to the computers in question. (The answer is of course
always, NO.)

The problem might be with Abra...has it reach the 2 GB limit? (A lot of
older databases had that limitation not just Access)

If your accessing works fine maybe the Payroll guy is running some
procedures that you are not?

Is the Payroll guy using a different FE? if so maybe an update is warranted.

This is a few of the questions I would check out.

HTH
Jim

Our Payroll guy has an Access .mdb which imports data from our Hours program
(written in DataPoint), into Abra, our Payroll/HR package.  A few weeks ago,
that database stopped working, and it is failing on a line of code that is
DoCmd.TransferText.  It says it is unable to write to the database.

It works from my machine (Windows 2000, running Access 97), but not the
payroll guy's machine, (NT 4.0 workstation, access 97).

Both have the same service packs, etc.

Any thoughts?

Drew
