Weren't they taken over by Spacelabs? smile

El-Seif used to be the agent in Riyadh, if my memory serves me well.

If anyone else can help in the meantime The primary problem we are facing are database errors. Our current problem is that Cardionavigator program fails to execute and reports the following "Unable to open database" (Error 208).

It is server based (Paradox) and all service connections to the server are up and running! All data is in its correct folders and appears intact! Also there are no utilities with the software so how do I check its configuration if it wont EXECUTE?

Anyone know a fix without a full re-install? cry

Regards

Eddie

I'm probably stating the obvious when I say that it sounds like a corrupted database file that you've got there, Mate. It's a sure bet that the system was switched off "incorrectly"!

What system does the thing use (as in OS etc.) ... something generic? Probably something "specific" (proprietary), I'll bet.

Can you get at the files at all? Can you copy, and then examine them? If you're already considering a full re-install, I'm wondering if a step-by-step deletion of some of the files might work (by conjuring up an automatic rebuild). I would delete the index(es) first, then the database itself if need me.

Sounds like fun. Good luck, Mate. smile

Hi Geoff, it’s running on XP. I am no expert on paradox but it seems to be a logical flat file system organized in to directories “EKG Data” via year/month/day. And what appears to be a master data file (pointer) in the application root folder. I have backed these up! We have no technical info about the systems configuration! And as I said the manufacturer fails to respond to any cry for help!

Please allow just a little digression then ...

Here is an interesting case. We have an "emerging nation" which used to rely upon people with mukh from the Western nations to provide technical services to its (then) fledgling healthcare organizations. Of course, they had to pay heavily for that privilege. But don't worry too much about that, as they had plenty!

But now, with the amount of equipment at another magnitude altogether, not to mention complexity, and also with customer expectations at a new level ... technical support by the equipment companies is (as Eddie has just indicated) by and large left in the hands of donkeys. The companies' margins are still quite "healthy", but tech support staff now come from non-Western countries, and the pay is rock-bottom ... but what about the end result? That is, the lousy service?

A point for discussion, perhaps? smile

Those data files are corrupted, Mate (or, one of them is). You have (good) back-ups? Can you copy them back onto the system, then?

Also, doesn't someone there have Paradox? It would be nice to be able to take a look at those data files. smile
