Re: [XDB-users] UpdateMemoData problem

[D P <djp...@gm...>]

Hi Gary,

Thanks. The code looked OK and both xbconfig.h and xbwincfg.h have
#define XB_MEMO_FIELDS 1. I un-tarred a fresh copy and brought it into
codeblocks again, globally replaced all the #ifdef XB_MEMO_FIELDS with
//#ifdef and then compiled again with MINGW to let the compiler point
out the orphan #endif 's. Maybe I fat fingered (or fat brained lol)
something when I originally did it. I recompiled again, and memo
fields now work. I have no clue why they wouldn't with the #ifdef's
there, everything should have worked. Maybe it's a codeblocks/MINGW
thing, but I'll have to look after I get my code back on track. Will
keep everyone posted if I find out the why. Thanks again...this is a
great library! I'm really loving having my simple but powerful .DBF's
back for stand alone apps. I've already re-invented a ton of old
Clipper commands and functions into my own lib to use with it lol.

Just a quick question. I remember reading somewhere (maybe in the old
docs, can't find the reference again) that there was a problem with
locking in Windows. Is that old news that's been fixed or still an
issue? Thanks again.
