That should work, is everything installed properly?
Try to run the repair feature of the installer (if there is one, I think so anyway) or re-install the whole thing.

It could be because your using windows vista. This is the link to the Windows Vista Compatibility Thread. It shows you how to install DBPro on Vista.

Hope that helps you.

He shouldn't get syntax errors in that case. Possibly an "unknown error", if he's using the new IDE though.

Try the following snippet:



DBP automatically quits and returns to the editor when a program has run, so adding the Wait Key will keep the program running until you press a key.

There's nothing in the beginners tutorials that only works in DB Classic, so your problem is not with the code you are typing in.

I don't use Vista myself, but I know it can cause problems with DB due to restrictions on writing files to certain directories, but fixes to this are adequately covered in the above link.

Clearly the best option, but people don't like it when you suggest such drastic action - and many don't have the knowhow to do it anyway.

Less hassle all round with XP and DB, so good choice!
