- I am having a mega-problem - I have written a dbaseIV 1.5 program to
- edit a queried record (one searched for on a key and found). I am using the
- REPLACE command on all of the fields in the record. I am receiving a "Cannot
- write to read only file" error. I have tried to remedy the problem with the
- following to no avail:
-
- o SET LOCK off
- o UNLOCK all
- o examine MS-DOS file attribute
- (is not read-only/system file)
-
- Does anyone know what I am missing (besides the answer)? I need help
- immediately (before Monday, preferrably tonite).
