Dan and List, I would download from pervasive and set up a 'toy' database, but I can't. The company I work for is not using the most recent version of the pervasive database. We are using 2000i (7.x?) so using version 9.0 will not be accurate. Anyway I am able to install pervasive using WINE. It installs under .wine/drive_c in PSVW folder. Also, the data is stored on a share on a Windows 2003 DC. I am able to map the drive using WINE. The drive letter is I:. I can use the ODBC tool to make a connection to the database using the example in the WINE documentation which involves the WINEDLLOVERRIDES command line options. The program I am trying to run needs to use the following command line to run: WINE I:\INFISY\WRUN\WRUNCBL.EXE -C I:\INFISY\ETC\CBLCONFI.053 jb030 This program is nothing more than a terminal to collect data about jobs that are open on the floor. So in a way it is like a terminal program with 5 or six different prompts, nothing more. I would attach screen shots, but I don't know if I can do that on a list. Thus, the program runs from the network to the station. I can get the program to run, Pervasive Splash screen comes up, however, when you have to enter a company code (required by the program) it gives me an error stating that it cannot open the file. I am not sure if the error is WINE related or some sort of error with the DB. The exact error that comes up is: SP2 error open-file failed - abort? If I say yes, then it closes, if I hit NO I get nothing. The "WINE desktop" become unresponsive. I am using ubuntu 6.10 and I have downloaded the current files from WINE and I am not using the Ubuntu version. I hope this helps explain the situation. If it is not enough let me know and I will get whatever info you need.

It looks like you asked the same question at http://www.experts-exchange.com/Networking/Linux_Networking/Q_22472428.html and gave more details there. In particular, somebody there wrote >If you try to open an application data file (that's on drive I:) >using the Pervasive Function Executor (WBEXEC32.EXE in PVSW\BIN), >does it work or does it give an error? If it gives an error, what is it. And you replied: >Win I run WBEXEC32.EXE in PVSW\BIN it opens and appears to run, but I cannot do >anything. I have to "break" out of it to stop it. Gee, it sounds like it ought to be possible to set up a toy database that exhibits the problem, using the trial versions at http://www.pervasive.com/downloads/ Can you give us a step-by-step recipe for reproducing the basic problem using just the trial versions and a toy database? It might be quite easy (e.g. "Give the following command to create an empty database.... The tool crashes like this...")
