Visual Fox Pro 9 with dBase tables

Hi everyone. I have a though one here.

In a friend's company they use n accounting and POS software which was designed by someone that passed away. The problem is that he doesn't have much money right now, thus can't license windows and MSoffice in his office.

I offered him the possibility of using Linux (Mint or Ubuntu) and having him run the software on Wine.

This is the software that installs all the necessary libraries to make the program run: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/1144527625/2 ... 71&s=19071, no problem 'till here, it installs like a charm.

Then, this is the program itself with all the tables in the database: https://rcpt.yousendit.com/1144534951/1 ... 71&s=19071. So I copy this to the c: drive inside the ./wine folder, and it runs just fine. The problem starts when I try to login to the software itself UN: "ADMIN" (without the quotes, of course) it will always assume CAPS, so it's not case sensitive, and the PW: is also "admin" (I keep typing it in lowercase, but I am not sure if this is case sensitive or not, I didn't code the program) and I get this error:

I don't have a clue on what's going on, I would be very grateful if someone was to help me on this, I'm going crazy with this issue.

BTW, I am using the new WINE-gecko 1.3, could that be the issue?[/img]

There are also plenty of free point of sale systems available right now that you can use. You just have to search for them and read some reviews to get the best free online POS system.

Can you do a the following (as root, do NOT RUN WINE as root though.)

find / -name '~*.tmp'

and see if that file in the error message is anywhere on your system (it
should be in .wine/drive_c/windows/tmp)?
