2076.0. "CARDFILER crashes a lot." by SDEVAX::THACKERAY () Thu Jan 18 1990 20:19

    I have two nasty things that happen to my cardfiler and have forced me
    to save every single time I make an addition. A real pain.
    
    1)	Cardfiler crashes, randomly, when I initiate any kind of search.
    
    2)	Cardfiler, about 10% of the time, crashes when I try to pick a card
    somewhere near the end of the alphabetical index, at a random place. So
    I have to delete the latest version, keep multiple backups, and every
    songle time I initiate Cardfiler I have to pick the last card (the end
    of the "Z's" to ensure all the cards are pickable, before continuing.
    
    I'm not a techie, so don't know how to do all the VQR stuff, whatever
    that is.......

2076.1No enough infoVIA::FINNEGANAll of the best intentions are less than one good act.Fri Jan 26 1990 18:0011
More information please.

What are you running (VMS, Ultrix).

What versions are you running?

What size database do you have?

Can you let me copy the database and test with it?

    VMS
    It says 79/81 blocks in show file
    The file is in DUA1:[thackeray.public]digital.card
    The nodename is IE0022
    
    I'm not a hacker so don't know how to do anything else. I don't know if
    I have set priviledge so you can copy, but I guess it's worth a try.

Well I can't read the file.  The following protections need to be set:

dua1:[000000]thackeray.dir (w:r)
dua1:[thackeray]public.dir (w:r)
dua1:[thackeray.public]digital.card (w:r)

Also, what version of VMS are you running?
