I have a ct who is trying to access two(or more) dbs from a BASIC
application. He was told that it is possible, but because you can
invoke only one db per compiled app, he created a subroutine to
invoke the second. However, if he links the main app with the
sub, he isn't able to fetch anything from the first db, whether he
does nothing with the second.
Is this a limitation with basic and dml? Or do we need to create
separate subs for each invoke and return the info to a main app
before accessing the second? Does this make any sense? Seems to
be easier (less confusing) with Fortran...
Thank You...

What happens when he tries to fetch from the first db? Is he using streams? Peter | |||||

Nothing returned. Gets some error, but he didn't have these to
give me. Don't think he is using streams, but I'll check.
Thank you...

He needs to use streams when acessing multiple databases from the same
program.

Thank you much...the stream id fixed his problem.
