Hi folks! I need some help. I'm having a problem with the Read command with Access!. I can click on the option, and I get a file requester, but when I select a file, the drive spins like it is searching for the file, but I don't get anything. Is there something that I am not doing, or something that I am missing? Julia

Julia, The read option is a seperate program and is included in the Access! files. It should be placed either in the same directory as Access! or in the C directory. I keep it in the C directory because I use it even when not using Access! Hope this clears up the difficulty…if not maybe someone else has some ideas. <<<Mel>>>

Mel, I've tried it in both, and it still hasn't worked. I was wondering if the file arp.library had something to do with it, as it is mentioned somewhere in the docs in relation to rd, but even fiddling with moving that around hasn't helped. Julia

I'll have to look up my docs and double check, Julia. Maybe someone else will jump in with the answer while I search. <<<Mel>>>

Julia, arp.library should be in your libs: directory, but, as near as I can tell, has no relation to rd. I deleted arp.library out and rd worked just fine. Of course, I'm using version 1.42 or Access!, so that might be a factor. Brian J. Bartlett

BB, that's it. The _old_ version of RD used the arp.library. The subject came up when Keith (Ariel?) and Khalid were discussing his Bypass_Arp Program that goes with his f-r, and Keith (Ariel?) tolded him that the filerequester on RD didn't use arp's anymore. –Eet–
