Full dBase expressions not supported

Full dBase expressions not supported
Mon, 24 Mar 2008 09:33:53 -040
I have used this over and over; but, today I am getting the following error 
on the line: "qDetails1.active := true"

Database Engine Error: Full dBASE expressions not supported.

   qDetails1=new query()
   qDetails1.database := d
   qDetails1.sql := 'select * from Details.dbf '
   qDetails1.active := true

Does anyone know what causes this or how to fix it?

Dan,

That normally means the table came from an older (5.x) version of dBASE 
which allowed a greater range of function in the formula for the 
indexes. If an index uses a function (or user-defined function) which 
are no longer supported, you get that message.
