SUMMARY
When you try to attach a Btrieve (.DDF) file, you receive the error message "Disk or network error."



CAUSE
This error occurs when you try to attach a Btrieve file created with Btrieve version 6.x using the Btrieve client software for version 5.x



RESOLUTION
Use version 6.x of the Btrieve Requester to attach data created with Btrieve version 6.x



MORE INFORMATION
There is currently no client-only version of Btrieve 6.x. To attach Btrieve 6.x data, you must use the Btrieve client-server software that requests data from the Btrieve NLM. If you try to attach Btrieve 6.x data with the client-only version of Btrieve 5.x, you will receive the error message stated above. Note that Btrieve 6.x can read the 5.x format, but you must have version 6.x drivers to read 6.x data files.

Microsoft Access can use data from version 5.x or 6.x of Btrieve, but the client software must be appropriate for the version of Btrieve that created the data.
