Does your program shows this error when
it goes to save database's fields??? And you are sure that the
fields' aliases are opened??? And an alias that
does not exist in the program is blaming this error ??? Where did
this alias come from??? From beyond???
This problem did not come from beyond, it
came from an index file that you had created using this alias
before the database's fields and now you are opening that DBF with a
diferent alias!
For example:
You had created the index
file like this:
USE ESTOQUE ALIAS EE
INDEX ON EE->CODIGO
TO ECOD
And in your program has:
USE ESTOQUE ALIAS ES
SET INDEX TO ECOD
...
ES->CODIGO := nCOD
Understand? Got the point?!
You should have created the index file like
this:
USE ESTOQUE ALIAS EE
INDEX ON CODIGO
TO ECOD
Never create index files with an alias in the
fields, because the aliases are
incorporated by the index key!!!

COM2 or COM1 in special printers
- You can not
get access to COM1 or COM2 to print in specials printers, like check
printers, code-bar printers etc??? Did you tried everything??? -Call
Ghostbusters!!!
- This you wouldn't wonder!!! In your system must
exist a command called SET DEFAULT TO <path>, that
doesn't have nothing to do with serial or paralel ports, but a ghost
from Computer
Associates made a mess with all this... This command does not need
to be removed from the program, see now the best choice:
- Before defining COM1 or COM2
and print, do the following:
- OD := SET( _SET_DEFAULT ) // Saves the current path
- SET DEFAULT TO // cleans the set default
- SET PRINTER TO COM2
- ...
And where your program finishes printing,
use:- SET( _SET_DEFAULT, OD) // Restores the path used
currently.

Windows: "An internal overflow
caused a paralization of this session. Change the STACKS definition in your
CONFIG.SYS file and try again." (Should be something like this in english)
You had already changed
the STACKS definition to the highest and the lowest allowed, tried the
same with STACKSHIGH, used SCANREG, tried even reinstall the Windows, but
still showed that same message??? -Call
Ghostbusters!!! (Before someone try to format your machine!!!)
There is a great problem in the Windows system
registry, the USER.DAT, a hidden file that can be
found in the Windows directory. Do the following:
- Remove the file's Hidden attribute,
like: ATTRIB -H USER.DAT;
- Rename the file to whatever similar;
- Restart your computer (push reset or turn
it off and on);
Then Windows will not find and will not try to execute this
failing registry and will restore a perfect safe copy of that (back up)
automatically.

Keyboard locked
- Your keyboard just locked?! You can not
type?! A ghost possessed your keyboard?! -Call
Ghostbusters!!! (Before someone demands you to restart your
machine!!!)
- =>Unplug the keyboard's cable and plug
it again! Solves most cases...!
- Who told me that said this was an
old tip, but since I did not know that...

Ghost in the network?!
-
Everybody is out of the network, but you
can not update the system or reindex the files??? Is there a Ghost using
the network?! Don´t fear: Call
Ghostbusters!!!
- The bad trained users are guilty of that!!!
Ask the responsible of the computers to teach every user the right way to
turn off the computers. Some user must be turning off his computer just
pushing the on/off., when it happens the server keeps understanding that
machine is still turned on and using the same files it was befofehand.,
resulting a ghost connection!!!
-
=>Solution:
Disconnect the ghost users by the server system's monitor or simply
restart the server.

Windows 98 does not works SAMBA?! (Linux network)
- _Did not get SAMBA to work with Windows 98???
-Call Ghostbusters!!! (Before someone says you can't dance
"SAMBA"!!!)
- _Windows 98 does password encryption, that is
the problem!
- =>Solution:
Go to REGEDIT in Windows, get inside the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE,
System, Services, VxD, VNETSUP and create a new DWORD value named:
-
- EnablePlainTextPassword and
put 1(one) in the value.

DBCREATEIN(0) INTERNAL ERROR 4424
- Is in reindex or another intense
activity happening this error??? There is nothing wrong with the programs
and you don't know what to do anymorer??? -Call
Ghostbusters!!!
- What happens is very simple: Clipper is
not finding the ambient variable that defines the TEMP directory.
-
=>Check it out::
Type the command SET at DOS prompt to see what directory
is being considered the TEMP directory.
- You should find something like this:
- TEMP=C:\TEMP
- TMP=C:\TEMP
- In this case, the TEMP directory is
called TEMP and is located in drive C,
which does not exist. All you have to do is to create that directory to
solve this problem.
- In the case of not finding those lines
showed by the command SET, you must define those ambient
variable in your autoexec.bat.
- Like this:
- SET TEMP=C:\TEMP
- SET TMP=C:\TEMP
