I am trying to use a program called Question Manager from Question Mark. To be precise: it's version 3.4.0.2 which is rather old. The program manages databases of questions (Jet engine v4). When I try to open an existing database or create a new one it fails writing basically: "impossible". I'm using wine 1.1.30 on a Linux host (64 bits) I've tried to strace the program itself and wineserver. Whenever I try to create a new database, I can see that wineserver creates the file (and a temporary file), that Question Manager stats the file (which means it has been created and Question Manger sees it) but then fails writing: Error The database could not be created. Check the path exists. Also check that the filename does not include any of the following invalid characters: * ? " < > | : Any idea ? Thanks, Loïc
