The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

DOS based accounting package on Windows XP

Asked by franksmyth in dBase, MS DOS, Windows XP Operating System

Tags: dos, xp, accounting, windows, based

Hi,

I have an ancient laptop running windows 95 and a DOS based accounting program called Apex on it.

I would love to get the program running on windows xp but so far I have been unsuccessful.

Using the command prompt in windows xp everything looks like it is running ok but then when I try to open a client file I get a number of dBase errors.

I tried running it using DOS emulator dosBox but that doesn't even get that far.

There is a dongle that is meant to be used with the software (even though it seems to run fine without it) and there is also a batch file which is used to start the program which has a line something like:

mode >> CO86 (or something to that effect....I am not beside the machine right now)

Can anyone shed some light on this problem.....Do I need to install dBase on my XP machine or would that be included in the apex program itself.

Is this a dongle problem and what is the significance of the mode command.

I would love to get this program working so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
-Frank
