Re: How to open a Pervasive file in a location from another one having the same set of files.
Updated method (to open an old version of our inventory master)
Step 1: Have NOTHING dataflex running on your machine.
Step 2: Load the old BTR, INT and set of DDFs to <non-standard folder with data I want to look at>
Step 2: Temporarily alter the DFBTRDRV.INT file in your C:\Program Files\DataFlex 20.0\Bin64 folder to add the following lines. (you’ll need to be admin to change these)
BTR_PATH <non-standard folder with data I want to look at>
CACHE_PATH <non-standard folder with data I want to look at>
DDF_PATH <non-standard folder with data I want to look at>
Step 3: Open Database Explorer. Then use File | Open Unlisted Tables and select the .INT file you want to open.
Step 4: Export…
Step 5: restore the original DFBTRDRV.INT!
