Applications / DBExpert

I know this app is ancient, but I like it, so still want to use it. However, when trying to open one of the DBE applications, I get the message "Error opening form_______.

Q+E Software ODBC dbase driver cannot open file_________

What do I do now??

Applications / ECS Workplace Shell
2011.11.02, 02:41:57

When I boot my laptop--which has had ECS/OS2 on it for several years--The boot sequence goes thru starting the graphics/video (Snap). The next step is to initialize and start workplace shell. The following window shows up:

     Workplace Shell

     The program pointed to bu the SETRUNWORKPLACE= line in the Config.sys could not 
     be started. Winstart App returned %1

At this point, the system stops booting, no matter if I click on OK or Cancel

What does this mean?
What do I do to solve the problem?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Applications / Dual Boot or?
2010.12.02, 21:33:25
I am installing a 2nd HDD in my currently windoze system. I am planning to install eCS on that HDD. Can I set up a situation where I can boot into 1 OS or the other? How? What problems might I run into?

Internet / Firefox for eCS
2010.12.02, 21:29:43
Looking for a link to download Firefox for OS/2 or eCS. Do I have to purchase that version from Mozilla?

Also, once I get Firefox loaded under eCS, can I use Google? If so, is it the same as under windoze? What differences might I find?

What is the best email app to use under eCS? Will there be any problems with reading email that may be sent from a windoze email app?

Thanks for your help.

What is the difference between eCS Business and eCS Home/Student???
The eCS Business price is higher, but why??

Help!
My laptop stopped booting a while back and I haven't had time to fix it. I think I can boot it off the eCS cd. If I can do that, how do I locate the eCS serial number so I can reinstall eCS???

Thanks in advance.

Applications / HELP!!!!!!!
2010.03.22, 15:06:56
Yesterday, my laptop booted with no problem. I shut it down properly (ACPI) last night. This morning, the boot process goes so far as showing me that it is archiving and then freezes. I have tried the Alt-F1 to get to the archives so I could boot from yesterdays archive, but when I get the blue screen listing all the possibilities--including yesterdays archive, it won't let me do anything--I try to chose an archive to boot from and the system just beeps (when I push any key) and does nothing!
I'm running ECS 2.0, rc1.6a. (at least that's what the eCs screen tells me...)

Thanks in advance for your help. All my records are on that system!

PS-- It won't even go into the boot sequence now. Shows an exception in Module HPFSMINI. Now what do I do?
      Do you need all the numbers/letters from the Trap 000d?
       Tried re-installing eCs. Won't work--font too large for screen and can't adjust smaller.

Applications / Open Office
2009.12.12, 19:16:41
Being kind of dumb when it comes to all this, how do I download OpenOffice 3.1.1 for eCS?? So far, I don't think I've seen anyplace where I can get the app, or, if I have, it's been confusing enough that I didn't understand how to do the dl.

Thanks in advance for your help.

From what I read, Daniella is no longer developing S506. If this is correct, what is the latest and possibly last release of s506 and where can I find it?

Since I retired, I need to make more space in my office by getting rid of a computer desk. I want to network my OS/2 system and my xp system and put the 2 boxes next to each other under 1 desk. What hardware and software do I need and how do I do it? Also, how do I operate it once all the connections are done?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Over the past 10 or so years, I have developed a dbExpert based customer service app. It is very flexible from assigning new customer numbers to setting rates/prices and will give you the flexibility to establish/unestablish current automations. The app has many reports and other information available on the push of a button. The only physical documentation is in my head, but some examination of the app will give you a good idea of how it works. I do not have time to create written documentation. and the system is relatively easy to use and decipher. If anyone is interested, let me know. $100.00 US

When I shutdown my notebook, (eCS 2.0rc6) here's what happens:
   1. Click on Shutdown on dropdown menu
   2. ECS Extended Shutdown Window
          Shutdown Only radio button is clicked
   3. Click OK
   4. System starts shutting down, screen goes to black with thin blue line that turns white as it contracts into a dot and disappears. There is NO indication that it's OK to turn off the system, just a black screen.
   5. I power off the system. When I do this, there is HDD activity, which there shouldn't be.  The next time I turn it on, it goes thru CHKDSK as if the system was not properly shut down.

How do I get Shutdown to work properly?

Thanks in advance.

Applications / DBExpert--Again!
2008.12.27, 06:15:32
I finally got my DBExpert files restored. However, it won't open forms or tables that are there for the reason 'No Active Form Found'. This has happened to me before, but long enough ago that I don't remember the solution.
Help, please.

How do I remove ePager and eCenter from the system without screwing things up? Is there a statement in config.sys I can rem?

Applications / BackAgain 2000
2008.12.26, 17:29:27
I backed up my dbExpert files with Backagain 2000, then installed eCS2.0 rc6a. Need to restore the dbE files. I have followed the instructions for for Restoring files. However, the restore hangs after restoring just a few files. Once it hangs, the radio buttons (close, minimize, maximize) do not work. The only way I can cancel the restore is to shut down the system and restart. I need the dbExpert files from the backup on my notebook's HDD. HELP!
Thanks in advance.

Setup & Installation / eCS RC6a install
2008.12.21, 00:54:29
I downloaded eCS RC6a into a zip file, copied the zip file to a CD-Rom, copied the zip file from the CD-ROM to my C drive on another system and unzipped the file. That seems too simple. Did I do it right? If not, how am I supposed to install it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
