error 36 on running
« on: June 11, 2021, 09:28:44 PM »
Hi all,
Decided to add an Owner string to the data files to increase security.
All good and  Compiled and ran over the top of earlier version TPS files
Now I get an error saying :
"LOG file could not be opened Error Invalid Data file (36) "
The help tells me that this error refers to the PATH but despite removing and recompiling  still get the error
The data files will open in Topscan
FM3 5.53 in C11 135505

JJ
Thanks
Richard

Hi Richard,

Your program does not automatically "encrypt existing files".
So you will need some mechanism to convert existing TPS files to being encrypted files before your program can use them.

there are numerous approaches to this - I use FM3 - but not that this also requires a change to the container name (ie the _file_ not _table_ name).
