Any problems with FiveWin and the DBFCDX & SIX3 drivers?

[HunterEC]

I can't manage to produce a program with FiveWin that runs ok when linking the DBFCDX driver from CA or the defunct SIX3 driver from SuccessWare.

We've been using the SIX3 driver since 1996 without any problems on production systems.

Is there any know issues with any of the above?

What errors do you get ?

Are they linking errors ? or runtime errors ?

Linking errors:

BLINKER : 1115 : TST.OBJ(TST) : 'SIXCDX' : unresolved external
BLINKER : 1115 : TST.OBJ(TST) : 'SX_SETTRIG' : unresolved external
BLINKER : 1115 : SIXCDX.OBJ(SIXCDX) : '_VSXDBF' : unresolved external

Thank you.

Gustavo,

There is a SixDriver RDD for 32 bits. We recommend you to migrate your application to 32 bits using Harbour/xHarbour and FWH.

Also, you should consider to migrate from Six to Comix (built-in with Harbour/xHarbour) as it is the most popular and supported RDD in 32 bits.

Antonio:
Thank you for your support. Before migrating to Comix, as you suggested, does Comix under xHarbour supports table encryption like the SIX driver ? In the short term I need to port a report module to Clipper/FiveWin using the SIx driver. Do you know if it is possible to have Six & FiveWin linked together (using Blinker) ? Thanks !

[Antonio Linares]

You can use FiveWin for Clipper and Six Driver working together without problems.

Regarding the functionality that you ask for in 32 bits, we don't know it for sure. You may ask the Six RDD manufacturer. Though again, we recommend you to use the builtin DBFCDX RDD in Harbour/xharbour.

Thank you Antonio.
