>I have an interesting dilemma. I have an application that on edit or add, connects to Oracle to verify accounting codes on input. Out of nowhere we start getting an "access denied" error when trying to create the Oracle cursor. I renamed the production exe and copied the source exe to the production directory. No more error and everything is fine. How does an executable get corrupted? Its another notch in my supervisors attitude that we need to dump VFP! Help...anyone
It never hurts to make the EXE file readonly, which should make "corruptions" difficult if not impossible. Also, if in future you think you've got a corrupted file you can use the command-window FC (File Compare) command to see if they're identical:
FC < File 1 > < File 2 >
