Moderate: Requires basic macro, coding, and interoperability skills.



SYMPTOMS
You receive the following error message when you are using the Btrieve Network Loadable Module (NLM) with Microsoft Access version 1.0:

Internal Database Error (-5001)

NOTE: You might also encounter an &quot;Unexpected Error from External Database Driver [1017]&quot; error message if you are missing the WBTRVRES.DLL file. This message occurs in Microsoft Access versions 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0.



CAUSE
You do not have correct versions of the Brequest.exe, Wbtrcall.dll, and Wbtrvres.dll files. In order for the Btrieve NLM to function properly with Microsoft Access, Microsoft recommends that the NLM requester (client) use Brequest.exe, Wbtrcall.dll, Wbtrvres.dll version 6.0, and Btrieve.nlm version 5.15.



RESOLUTION
Use the following procedure to obtain the correct versions of these Btrieve files:


 * 1) Call Btrieve Technologies, Inc at 1-800-287-4383 and ask for the file Bt515.exe.
 * 2) Once you have the Bt515.exe file, copy it to an empty directory. Then unzip the file by running Bt515.exe. Bt515.exe is a self-extracting zip file that will decompress several files and place them in directories.


 * 1) After the files are extracted, follow the instructions in the Bt515.txt file to properly install these files and for information on how to apply patches to the Btrieve.nlm file on your server.
 * 2) Add the following lines to your Win.ini file:

[BREQUESTDPMI]

datalength=4096

tasks=10

local=no

chkparms=no
