Can't load IMCLIENT.DLL

Hi,
NEVER create or modify a DBF with Excel, this will corrupt your DBF !!!
Look at Express\bin folder, there you find Rogers xdbu, which can create or edit DBF files.

Roger's xdbu just returns error same as cmd dbu:



That's why I used Excel so you can see what happens
I didn't create nor modify DBF with excel I just use it to look/browse base cause I Double click DBF file and after warning me it opens it either corrupted or not.

The reason you are getting a corruption message with DBU is because you are trying to open SENDMAIL.DBF with the DBFNTX driver. The SENDMAIL.DBF file was created in IMSERVER.PRG with the FOXCDX driver. Open IMSERVER.INI and change FOXCDX to DBFCDX, then delete SENDMAIL.DBF and SENDMAIL.CDX so they will be created again.

When I've changed Driver in xdbu it opens it without any problems

Mine IMSERVER.INI (There's no other IMSERVER.INI on my computer) looks like this:

Code: Select all

[IMSERVER]
Port1=8001
;Port2=8080
;Port3=8081
HostAlias=Test
Domain=LocalHost

[MESSAGES]
TimeOut=10000
Days=100

Where should I put that driver preference?

Is the FOXCDX set as default driver? Because I didn't set no driver to creation of mine DBF and it's corrupted as well.
If so how to set driver (I always thought that DBFNTX and FOXCDX are just for Indexing)

BTW what's the difference between FOXCDX and DBFNTX (Why did you use FOXCDX only for SENDMAIL.DBF)

Sorry, I thought that the EMAIL group was already in the IMSERVER.INI. If it isn't there, then it is defaulted in the IMSERVER.PRG source code.

Add this to your IMSERVER.INI:

Code: Select all

[EMAIL]
SMTPserver=gmail.com
DatabaseDbe=DBFCDX
UserId=me
Password=pass
Sender=me@gmail.com
Recipient=you@gmail.com
DatabaseName=SENDMAIL.DBF

[Djiber]

Now SENDMAIL.DBF is created with DBFCDX and I don't get error that it's corrupted, but now I get this error

It maybe caused by a typo: There's a double-r in the word "server" in your path.

I'm afraid it's not typo I've just named my folder Serrver cause I didn't want to mess up Roger's files which I've put in Server xD

SENDMAIL.DBF is in the same folder as EXE, and there's no set path (It was working before I've changed driver and it's working when I change it back, but it doesn't work with DBFCDX)

My guess would be that it's set somewhere to browse/open it with FOXCDX, but my incompetence doesn't allow me to find it

And I still don't know the difference between drivers

You need to read the Xbase++ documentation about the Database Engine and the different data drivers.
