Unchecking the read only box made no difference. A zero byte test database
file is created and dba_open() results in 'Permission denied'. However, if
the file is given a relative path (eg ../test.db), instead of an absolute
address (eg C:/Apache/htdocs/test.db), the Permission denied warning is not
generated. Also, the dba_replace() function doesn't result in a warning
either - but the test database remains at zero bytes and, of course,
dba_fetch() can't find any records.
I have given up on DB3 now, because I've discovered that both the 'inifile'
and 'flatfile' handlers give me the results I need from my Win32 testbed. I
wonder why DB3 fails - perhaps it's a bug after all, as I mentioned in my
original post
Thanks for your patience,
Ian
