Summary:
PROBLEM ID: QCW9109007
SYMPTOMS
The QuickCase:W prototyper that ships with Microsoft QuickC for
Windows (QC/Win) version 1.0 will destroy the contents of any file
it attempts to load that is not a valid prototype file originally
generated by QuickCase:W. If the user tries to load any file with a
.WIN extension that was not originally created by QuickCase:W, the
following error message is generated and the file will be
subsequently overwritten:
inconsistent address in dbllock()
Return code 587
RESOLUTION
The best workaround for this problem is to take extreme care that
no file with a .WIN extension is loaded into the prototyper, unless
that file was originally generated by QuickCase:W.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QuickC for Windows
(QuickCase:W) version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here as it becomes available.
More Information:
QuickCase:W always generates prototype files with a .WIN extension. It
will generate an error message if the user attempts to load any file
into the prototyper that does not have a .WIN extension, and will not
permit that file to be loaded.
