Okay, this is the first time I have tried this but... Is it possible to have two or more databases open at the same time? ie db_open(database1) -- do some stuff db_open(database2) I am getting an DB_OPEN_FAIL open open of database2! TIA, Jonas

Hi Jonas, Yes you can open as many Databases as you like. Heres a snippet from one of my progs. if db_open("Codes", DB_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE) != DB_OK then puts(2, "Couldn't Open Codes database!\n") abort(1) end if if db_open("CodeTrak", DB_LOCK_EXCLUSIVE) != DB_OK then puts(2, "Couldn't Open Tracker database!\n") abort(1) end if Then select the database before you use it with db_select("Codes") Regards Tony Steward Come Visit Me At www.locksdownunder.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jonas Temple" <jktemple at yhti.net> To: "EUforum" <EUforum at topica.com> Sent: Friday, April 20, 2001 6:04 AM Subject: Multiple databases open at once? > > > Okay, this is the first time I have tried this but... > > Is it possible to have two or more databases open at the same time? > > ie > > db_open(database1) > -- do some stuff > db_open(database2) > > I am getting an DB_OPEN_FAIL open open of database2! > > TIA, > > Jonas > > > > > >
