financial application software

[rathish]

Dear all,

We are running a financial application software (GUI -
sql server database) in windows platform. Currently we are going
to change the software that is of CUI dbase-clipper database.

Our both server side softwares are installed on different machines. But
in client machines we made some changes for the dbase software ie,
in config.nt FILES=40 changed to FILES=80 and created an
environment variable also. Actually we are mapping the drive for dbase
software.

The problem is that after the dbase software installation in
client machine, some of the features of the previous software
is not working properly.

System config: OS - Win 2000 Professional - service pack 4
CPU - P4

Please advise me how can I solve this problem and run both softwares parallelly.

If you change the front end then not all backends can supply the data you want in the format that the front end requires it. Can only guess this is your problem since you haven't apparently changed the backend server at all.

I'm not familiar with dbase but if you cant alter its configuration (or any ODBC connection to the backend) to make it compatible then you may need to migrate the server data to another backend that is fully compatible. You will need to study the dbase documentation carefully or maybe post on a specialised dbase forum or newsgroup.
