Thanx Tim, my friend (also a Tim) says that because under SBPRo4 he can't access certain records which were accessible under SBPro3 that he has had to go back to using SBPro3. In other words his experience is that there is some sort of minor file incompatibilities that mean that not all his records are accessible. He amintains a lage database for mailing purposes, and is running an AMiga 3000 and version 2.04 of the OS. I know its not much to go on but have you any advice? Regards Ken

What happens when he attempts to access (presumably read) these records? Does he get an error? if so what. Has he tried switching indexes and then accessing the record? Can he access the record using a blank query? We're pretty confident in the functionality of our database engine, so it's much more likely that there's a file or index error that just doesn't show up under 3.02. The bottom line is, if none of my above suggestions will work, can you get an extract of the database (not too big – I'm running 2400 baud!) that can be read in 3.02 but not 4V1.01 and email it to me. Confidentiality of data will be respected. Tim.
