At what point does the exception occur? On startup? When you're working within the app? It looks like FoxPro is trying to do a !run command to me - I haven't tried that... It also could be loading a module (say SMTP or ZIP) that Paul or I don't use.. or haven't tried. > Anyone here know if the issues that Rick and Paul mentioned above > would rule out using this database app under wine in a > business/production environment?

Have you contacted CodeWeavers? I did last year, and I don't think they fix one issue. I think they'll fix the whole app. There's a base price for initial testing and troubleshooting, and if your issue can be fixed in X number of hours, you're done. If not, then you pay an hourly rate on top of it. They're prices are reasonable, but you have to justify what you're accomplishing.. The biggest issue is Record Locks.. Paul mentioned he had found a patch for doing record locks, but I didn't get a link... It might be a functional patch, but not up to 'standards' for inclusion in Wine. I'm not sure if Codeweavers would use existing work, just to make it work (kinda like CXO), or actually make it right. > Joe > > _______________________________________________ > wine-users mailing list > wine-users@winehq.com > http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users -- -- Rick Romero IT Manager Valeo, Inc. ph: 262.695.4841 Sussex, WI. fax: 262.695.4850 Rick@valeoinc.com _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@winehq.com http://www.winehq.com/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
