What is GoldMine's operating system?

How much free hard drive space is available on GoldMine's hard drive?
What is the total size of Contact1.dbf, Contact1.dbt, and Contact1.mdf?

Sorry about my typo.
Sometimes when GM's Temp Directory is packed full, we will get that error even when there is sufficient free space on the hard drive. Specifically, in GM go the Help > About > System and find the location for GM's Temp Directory. Browse to that location and if it is packed full of files, consider deleting them and freeing up some space there.

Hope this helps.

The prior documentation tell about a Borland DB error for dBase files.
This take into consideration the error when there is enough space :

http://www.castellcomputers.com/index.php?p=15

I have tried the fix with no results.

I have this issue from some days ago. In past times I solved creating additional files to break the geometry of the problem.
You ask me for my system. An interesting question Bob.
Is this error present in windows 7, windows 8, windows 9.....

Other solution I tried yesterday with splendid results was :
Make a copy of goldmine 5.5 to a vm under my system , and with windows xp pro sp3
using dinamic hard disk IDE. The reindex was good.

Someday before my death I will try windows 9 or so on.....
So I am investigating the possibility to mantain in the future the links.
In the present moment I am using seven disks (I am Apache from Frontrange forums) and as usually i have several times windows xp pro in the same pc. And Goldmine is install as a portable program.
I refer to links I can use with windows 9 or so on, because I can create a sandbox for my Goldmine with no problem. Even recreating the present seven disks, but this is not enough for me because I use Goldmine constantly and for everything. It's my knowledge base and my everywhere location adviser. So I need to access in the future from the virtual machine to the exterior. This is no problem for me because I only need to link to data hard disks. If the future mantain NTFS is no problem.

I have made an experiment and fails me. So I would like to know the exact interpretation of this screeenshot with your help.
All the past years I was interpreting that the alternative route to the O: hard disk will take place when the path corresponding to the first in Y: unit fails. But I tried with a moved folder to the O: unit, and when is not found in Y: give me error invoking in the links tab.

I try to explain with screenshots :




I will try the temp folder . In my case I have in Y:\GoldminePrg. And comment.

On the drive holding GoldMine you need 1,210.5 MB of free space to rebuild your Contact1.* files. Your free space needs to be 2.5 times the combined space of the largest files you are rebuilding (includes the dbf, dbt, and mdx files).

Your version of GM will not work properly in higher versions of Windows.

yeah, I notice that your Y drive shows 224 MB of free space. that's painfully little free space. How large are the files in your y:\goldmine\agenciacomercialpmsl\ folder?

We can see that.
Usually, in the past, you tell me the same thing.

Now I would like to know about my screenshot using unit Y: and O:
I really don't understand that screen. About "When incoming linked documents are not found in their original path, you can specify alternate drive(s) to check under. Please enter......
What is exactly the meaning of those phrases ?
Where can I find exhaustive information about this ?.

My purpose investigating those points are obvious.
In the future I may use a VM Virtualbox if I have access from inside the VM to all Hard Drives.
At the present I can access all my disk from a VM.

But the links I can control from the tab links is really what I don't understand.

As we know Goldbox offers an old and free version that can help to adequate the links, and more because I am an ancient user of dBase III fromo Ashton Tate.
I have the way to edit my databases and make powerful substitutions.

But what I really want to know is a future environment (Windows 2020 or so) is I can propose alternatives paths to find the links.

I have tried between my disks (the rest of my life O: and Y: are data disks in my system) but no results.

I need to understand the phrase : ""When incoming linked documents are not found in their original path, you can specify alternate drive(s) to check under. Please enter ALTERNATE drive letters or UNC drives, separated by a semicolon (Wink . For example...."

At the present moment I have supered eventually the problem of the insufficiente disk space without create occupied spaces.
I am plenty of security copies.

I am programming in autoit and autohotkey at the present moment some things.
I think is not difficult to program a script to calculate the action before the reindexing.
I only need to know the geometry of the problem. I think I can solve.
Even with goldmine open and a hotkey associated to a script.

Best Regards

What are the free space conflictive ?. Where can I find a table ?

From one of your previous posts, I saw that your Y drive showed 224 MB of free space. It may have been an incorrect statement which has since been corrected.
