How do I open a file. dbf from dosbox?
On dosbox:
c:\mydir\my.dbf
ERROR invalid command
Tks.
Dos or Dosbox doesn't assign filetypes to programs and opens the file with the program when you enter it on the prompt. Only programs (exe, com) and bath files (bat) can be run.
Ok, my .bat file is: (MENUPROG is my file .dbf and is dbase IV)
ECHO OFF
CLS
CD \mydir
DBASE /T MENUPROG
CD\
CLS
Tks
you run dbase and select file open iirc
or it could be you type
use my
at the dot prompt (assuming your file is called my.dbf and its in the dbase folder)

What Operating System are you using. IIRC, dBase works fine under Windows XP's NTVDM (cmd.exe window).
I open the dos prompt with cmd.exe.
cd mydir
mydb
...
I returned to C: \
