I need to tell you about my configuration and what it is I am doing so that you can Better Help me. I have had a Windows 2000 box running for many years.

Oct 27, 2014 I had the same issue ('could not find installable ISAM'). Comag Sl35 Software Update Ber Rs232. Paul ~~~~ Microsoft MVP (Visual Basic) Monday, March 30, 2009 5:34 PM. Reply Quote.

In that time I have developed many application using Visual Studio 6 and MS Access 2000. All of the application that I developed compile and run well and the 'Distributed' packages run well also. I am now in the middle of doing a complete overhaul and upgrade of my system and Development system so that I can get off of Windows 2000. To that end I have installed Ubuntu 10.0 and VMware 7 on some new hardware. I have created a Virtual WinXP and have successfully loaded Office 2000 (includes MS Access) and Visual Studio 6 onto the Virtual XP. I Then copied a folder from my Win 2000 development machine onto the Virtual XP. This Folder contains a relatively simple Application that I thought would be a good way to test if everything was working the same as on the Win2k development box.

Soulful Thangs Vol 8 Rar. After some 'Tweaking' I was finally able to get the application to compile on the VirtXP without error. Lunia Installer 20101026115913. However running the application causes the 'Couldn't find installable ISAM' error. I have been able to determine that this error is related to the fact that I am creating a MS Access database using the 'TEXT' DB feature of Access. (remember this all works on my Win2k box) I have researched this error on EE (and other Forums) and have tried many suggestions. All of which has failed. I am hoping that I can start a 'dialog' with someone here in hopes of resolving this issue. My long term goal is to have my 'Development' machine running on a Virtual XP and then later on a Virtual Windows 7 box.

(BTW VMware supports Windows 7 very nicely) Anyway I will continue to try to resolve this, but I could use some assistance. Thanks in advance. I don't think you virtual development environment has been installed correctly. I think a better course of action would be to virtualise and copy your physical machine to your Virtual Machine, in what we call a Phyisical to Virtual (P2V) conversion. You would then have an exact clone of your old workstation in a virtual environment. You can download and use for free VMware Convertor which will convert and copy your old workstation to a virtual machine that can be used by VMware Workstation.

VMware Standalone Convertor For the conversion steps, read my fellow experts Bestway's article. Hi Sir, Thanks for the reply. I have already been down that path. I have a Win2k box that has a 'C: ' of over 100Gig. On a 250Gig drive. I used the Converter (several attempts) but received a 'Blue Screen of Death' each time I tried to boot the Virtual Win2k.

Win2k is very particular about the 'Original' hardware that it was created on and so it throws up a big Error if the hardware is different. I also tried many attempts to 'Repair' the installation but that too failed. My current approach is do to the above mentioned problems. Sorry had to step out for a while. All of my registry listings are the same as yours. I too am perplexed.

This stuff is too simple to go bad.:) Most of my application now use MySQL but some older application uses Access and only a handfull of them load a TEXT file into a Access table. I have started to write a function that will 'INSERT' the txt data into a Acceess database but I do not like this solution. It is way too slow. Do you load TEXT files into Access? Maybe my syntax is incorrect for XP. Here is my code: Me.TempData1.DatabaseName = GetRootName(Me.txtInputFil e.text, ' ') Me.TempData1.RecordsetType = 1 Me.TempData1.ReadOnly = False Me.TempData1.RecordSource = GetRootName(GetBaseName(Me.txtInputF ile.text, ' '), '.'
