   Re: Pdox9 Query Error: Invalid File Name   
   27 Mar 07 19:04:30   
   
   From: donn@princetonair.com   
      
   I tried each of your suggestions, without any success. There is not a   
   subdirectory   
   with the same file/query name.   
      
   I created a new directory, copied the recd.db plus one of the original files   
   whose records were added to recd.db and whose file was not renamed to the   
   new directory; then, in Pdox9, changed directory to the new directory; when   
   I tried to do a query on either file in the new directory I got the "Invalid   
   File Name" error.   
      
   I did some unrelated queries in unrelated directories and they all worked   
   ok.   
      
   I also restarted my pc, but that didn't help.   
      
   I think that I somehow corrupted something in the file or directory format   
   of each .db file in the original directory. All of those files were copied   
   from other directories, so I am going to start again & be very careful when   
   adding each file's records into the new recd.db.   
      
   Thanks for trying to help me.
