Subject: RE: Songs of the Newfoundland Outports
So, Don Walsh responded, and gave me a link to repair information. It looks complicated, but it isn't. All you have to do is this: - install the Newfoundland Outports program using the installation program on the CD-R - but don't run the "Outports" program yet.
- Create a folder titled pdoxusrs on your C:\ drive
- Open your control panel (classic view) and open BDE Administrator
- In the window that appears, click on the configuration tab, and expand the "plus" signs to go to Drivers/Native/Paradox
- In the right window that appears where it says NET DIR C:\ click on C:\ and change to C:\pdoxusrs.
- Close the BDE Administrator by clicking on the X at the top right corner of the BDE Administrator Dialog Box. You will be prompted to save the changes. Click on Yes.
- You will be requested to restart all BDE applications for the changes to take effect. Click on OK.
- Re-open the BDE Administrator to ensure that NET DIR has been changed to C:\pdoxusrs. Once that has been confirmed re-start the Newfoundland Outports program.
Full, illustrated instructions here (click)
The "Help" function still won't work unless you download Windows Help from Microsoft, but that's not a big deal. I still can't access Help from within the "Outports" program, but it works when I click on the Help file.
Works like a charm. Thanks, Jim and Don.
