I have run into a problem.... We have database (7.3 Online) tables which reside on raw disc. Forms which used to work before we placed these tables on raw disc now will not function, and instead return nasty error messages, complaining about 'row not found'. I have recompiled, to no avail. Clues bounced off my forehead will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

What would make a difference would be if you fragmented the tables when you migrated to the raw disk system without adding the WITH ROWIDS clause. -- Jonathan Leffler (jleffler@informix.com, jleffler@earthlink.net) Guardian of DBD::Informix v1.00.PC1 -- see http://www.perl.com/CPAN #include <disclaimer.h>
