Database not in memory after #DBLOAD
|
I have a Cures database that fails on lookups unless I manually open it using the Database dialog. I've tried using #dbclose cu;#dbload cu to see if that would reset it automatically - it apparently does not.
There is a Cures_bak database in the same directory. I don't know if that causes a problem for #DBLOAD cu
Thanks |

As far as I know you can't do DB lookups *unless* you have database dialog window opened.
I may be wrong, though.

Nope, not wrong. None of the DB commands or functions do anything if the DB window is not open and the target is a database record (if it's a datarecord variable, as in the case of #DBLOOP or %db(), it still operates correctly).
