Sesame and conversion of Jewelsoft
Jan 5th, 2004 at 7:11pm
Print Post Print Post  
Just started to experiment w/ conversion of our old database to Sesame. Will probably be more of a problem than hoped for. Anyone familiar w/  old program
help is appreciated. Loading a converted stock database into Sesame
has caused program crashes under XP and Win 98SE.
May be easier to rebuild. Admin record shows quite a bit of problematic fields ect.

When you say "loading", are you crashing while translating or are you crashing trying to run the Sesame app after a successful translation?

Sorry for the delay, Was trying to reproduce the error.
After translating our stock database, when I try to open
it in Sesame in the add mode the program crashes
SESAME caused an invalid page fault in
module KERNEL32.DLL at 017f:bff7a388.
Registers:
EAX=20202020 CS=017f EIP=bff7a388 EFLGS=00010212
EBX=00002004 SS=0187 ESP=0132c944 EBP=0132c968
ECX=20202020 DS=0187 ESI=04baebcc FS=64a7
EDX=d11664c0 ES=0187 EDI=0020001c GS=0000
ect.
I can open it in search mode (I think) w/ out the crash.

Can we have it (the .db and .dat files) so we can throw the debugger at it? Please, please, please...?

Now after the crash Sesame will not open the translated file. Error message "failed to open".
This happened in 2 translations.

Let me talk to the "boss" should be no problem.
Do you have an FTP site or somewhere we can send it too. I think it will be bigger than our e-mail will allow.

DAT file is 28MB, db 1.14MB. Definitely can't use standard e-mail!. Could burn a disk and mail if we can't find another electronic way.

I'll repeat my post from the other thread.  Grin

If a Sesame app crashes, it does not get to close properly. A small command line utility included with Sesame called SUnlock will unlock the application and allow it to open.

SUnlock (sunlock.exe) is found in the Utilities/Lantica subdirectory of your installation directory. Instructions are on page 465 of the User Guide.

In brief:
1. Open a command window.

2. At the prompt, type
cd c:\sesame\utilities\lantica

3. Assuming that your application (.db file) is in the C:\Sesame\Data directory, type
sunlock c:\sesame\data\myapp.db

Sesame should now be able to open your application.

Zipped down to 2.5MB total. Still too big for mail I think.
Should I try sending? To Erika? Could just attach to
one of the "notify" mails?

Most email will handle at least 5MB. Give it a try. Send it to
support@lantica.com

Glad you got it. Was worried more about our ISP. I thought it choked out at 1mb or something.

SUlock worked fine. But database crashed in search when I tried to do a null search for all records.
Opened in designer though.

It looks like whatever is going on here may be going onin translation. Could you send me the Q&A database? DTF and IDX?
