Using Btrieve with Windows

ID: Q118629


The information in this article applies to:


SUMMARY

Btrieve is a key-indexed record management system. It is usually installed in a client-server configuration in which the server is a Novell NetWare file server.

BREQUEST.EXE is installed on the client machine and is required in order to have access to files on a Btrieve server. For Windows, you must use Btrieve version 5.15c or later.


MORE INFORMATION

BREQUEST.EXE requires IPX/SPX; therefore, Windows is configured differently depending on the Novell NetWare client software you are using.

Using the Microsoft Client for NetWare

NOTE: This configuration provides BREQUEST.EXE to Windows-based applications only. For BREQUEST.EXE to be available for MS-DOS-based applications, it must be loaded in an MS-DOS prompt.

Using a Novell-Supplied Network Client with Windows

Refer to the Btrieve "Installation and Operation" manual for installation instructions in this environment.

Key Points:

For more information about installing and using Btrieve, contact the program's manufacturer.
