 | In my application the user can create new database files with english names (i.e. job101) or greek names (ΠΑΡΑ1). I am using a variable which holds the path to the folder these files are.
cPath=c:\qslis2004\bqs\
Now if I use
USE cPath+myfile order myorder, the file opens with without any problem
If the file name is in greek I get the error
Database engine error : index does not exist:c:\qslis2004\bqs\_______.mdx
I can open the databases with greek names but if they have an associated mdx file for some reason I get the error above.
I am using PARADOX driver (Pdox ANSI Greek) because I want to be able to enter and print special characters like the £ sign.
Thank you

Did you set in the Plus.ini file:
LDRIVER=
And use the filename for hte driver you're using for the table? This
might resolve the issue (I don't guarantee anything).

| Yes I did.
It doesn't work !
If I open the database file and SET INDEX TO myindex everything works OK.
But if I try to use
OPEN myfile ORDER myindex I get the error.
The index name is in English, only the file name is in Greek

You may need to provide the table for R&D to work with, and provide them
with the exact steps, name of the language driver, what settings you're
using, etc.
In other words, for R&D to see a problem, they need to be able to
reproduce it, and that means that any information you can give them will
help.
