Re: Migration between NewEra2.x and NewEra3.0

David -
Ive run into the same bug in different situations but have found
cluges/workarounds for each.
1) This will happen if you're running against a 5.x online engine and have
a database statement in your pre_header. This is a bug and tech support
has informed me that it will be fixed in 3.1. My workaround was to
upgrade my online database to 7.x. In the newer DB version, the connect()
works fine.
2) This will happen if you're running against the 7.x standard engine that
comes with NE3. Tech support was NOT able to duplicate this problem but
Ive determined that it has something to do with the DBPATH environment
variable. First, change the default value of DBPATH from (for example)
DBPATH=C$\\db to c:\\db. I dont know whats going on here, but when I usethe $ instead of the :, I cant use my superTable editor in the WP. Now
move the generated executable into the actual DBPATH directory (c:\\db) and
run it from there.
Once one program is connected to the DB, the rest will run from anywhere.
Ive spent HOURS trying to figure out whats going on and cant. If anyone
has any clues as to why this happens, PLEASE let me in on the secret.
Otherwise, at least this should get your programs running!
Good luck!
