I hope someone can point me in the right direction. I have a program called eCabinets that I can install and launch. some of the functions work fine. Others, not so fine. When I click on some of the functions, I get a "Can not open ecabinets files". and when I close the program I get a message: DAO exception thrown: You attempted to open a database that is already open exclusively by user 'admin' on meachine 'john-MX8738. Try again when the database is available.. I know that there are 3 .mdb files and if it was not able to open the one called stringlist, the program would not open at all. so I knew it can access at least one of the .mdb. When I run the program from terminal, I do get some err:ole:CoGetClassObjects. and some fixme's... Please keep in mind that I am a new at this. so simple answers would be appreciated. I do have jet40 and mdac 25 (also attempted with mdac27 & 28) winetricks install. Ubuntu 11.04 wine 1.3.12 This program use IE7 and above for its framework. Thanks you in advance... John
