Hello,
 
I'm just wondering if there is an easy way to setup a test environment for writing TAS6 applications?  I'm on a client machine now (windows 2000) that connects to the server (Windows 2000 Server) and I installed the compiler.  I would like to basically be able to run and compile applications, then open the Evolution Menu run them just as any other client would (only in a test environment), then copy them to the server so they are ready to be added to the menu for everyone's access.  
 
I've copied the data from the server to a folder locally on my drive and the compiler reads everything ok.  I guess what I'm asking is there an easy way to switch the Evolution menu (or pervasive) from accessing/writing data on my local drive to the server?  The problem I have is that I need to access company data for use in some cases and sometimes when I'm writing an application I would like to leave the company information alone and just work in a test environment.  Sound confusing?

I am not sure I follow you. You said you copied the DBA data to a local machine. Then you brought up the compiler. Is it pointing to the local data or the server's data??? (the dictionary path is shown on the header bar "TAS Professional 6 [ xxx ]" xxx is the dictionary path) you need to point that path to your local machine.
Then when you write your apps. you test locally. When you are satisfied with the app just copy it to the server and run it thru EVO.  You should never develop in the live data.
 
Good luck....

Sounds like your fileloc is pointing to the wrong place.
open the compiler then press Program (on the main menu. not the icon) and select other data dictionary options. Then select Edit File locations.  When the tas6 program comes up press the button with the three dots in it under File name. This will give you a list of the DBA files and their location. If they are not the correct locations then press esc. and move to the extension field. Type in the extension(B11) then press the UPDATE ALL button. It will ask you for a path. Put in the correct path and press DO UPDATE.  You will need to repeat this for all your companies B, B99 etc....
 
I hope this helps....

Anyone again?

Sorry for the long time to reply, I've been busy...  I ran the file, but still have the same problem.  When I go to open BKICMSTR.B11 for example in Maintain database I get a btrieve error 2.  When I try to run programs that access the file, it says that field I'm trying to use is unallocated.  
 
I've gotten around it kinda, by installing Evo on the same PC and coping the database over to create a test enviroment.  However, after I compile I have to copy the screen and program over to the dbamfg folder just to run it and it is kinda annoying...
 
Thanks
