<<Btrieve Technology recommends using share.exe with Btrieve databases. I am not familiar with vshare.exe.>> PMJI, That maybe should be vshare.386. This is the virtual device driver version of share.exe. It is included with Windows for Workgroups. My experience has been that it will work in lieu of share.exe. The following is from the Microsoft Knowledge Base: "If you are using applications that support object linking and embedding (OLE) 2.0, you must run either SHARE.EXE or VSHARE.386. VSHARE.386 eliminates the need for SHARE.EXE when you run Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups in 386 enhanced mode. If you run Windows 3.1 in standard mode, you still need to run SHARE.EXE. If you run applications that are not compatible with SHARE.EXE, and you run Windows 3.1 in 386 enhanced mode, you may be able to use VSHARE.386 instead of SHARE.EXE." Hope this helps. Regards, -HANK-
