Hi,
I'm having some troubles here and I thought maybe someone might be able to shed some light on it for me...
I just finished a program for my supervisor... I tested THE CRAP out of this thing and it worked pretty much close to perfect. Now this is under Win NT 4 workstation.
Now my supervisor he's running Win 2k Pro and he's telling me he's getting these wacky errors and "Runtime Error 5" messages. But I don't get any of that under workstation. Now am I missing something here? Is there some special things that need to be accounted for when running an app under win2k?
My program is VERY simplistic. it's by far not advanced. i don't make any references to dll's or anything super fancy or advanced like that. in a brief summary, it makes calls to some batch files, creates text files, reads the text files, then stores the info in an access database.
anyone have an generic/general ideas of why it would crash under win2k? am I correct in assuming that it should work under win2k though?
thanks for any help.

I've written a bunch of apps on NT and recently switched to Win2K.
I've noticed differences only when accessing some directories - things are moved around
quite a bit.
You may be getting a file/directory access error.
For example, on a base NT system, the C:\temp dir is the system temp and tmp dir as set up in
the environment.
However, on Win2K the temp and tmp dirs are in c:\winnt\temp by default.
Check out where things are located on your supervisor's machine...

hey,
thanks for the reply Wayneh. You know, he is getting the error when he is doing some file/directory queries... i'll look into that.
thanks again.

No problem - now if I could only get some answers for my questions!
You can check out a bunch of my apps at:

They're all VB, (all exe, sorry) and completely free.
Spread the word....
