Using OI 4.1.3. I cannot seemt to detach from a volume that is referenced with a drive letter.

Attached to this volume using : RUN ATTACH_TABLE "N:\OIREV\JEFF", "", "SYSPROG", ""

When I perform the detach : DETACH_VOLUME "N:\OIREV\JEFF" i get a this error

N:\OIREV\JEFF	0	

FS100:    Record "" does not exist.

I found that error and some info from an old thread, but all that said was :

]] Detach_Table sometimes stops with FS100.

It detaches the data table, then attempts to attach the dictionary. 

According to a developer here, the 	FS100 results if a dictionary does not exist, 

but the data table should be successfully detached by this 

point. (I do not believe that the resulting error is intentional behavior.)

]] I continually have problems with same volume label error

]] messages when trying to attach different volumes.

Note : that is not the case for me. No files in the volume are sucessfully detached.

I have also tried to attach / detach using UNC without any success.

I have tried this with a "relative" volume reference (ex: RUN ATTACH_TABLE "JEFF", "", "SYSPROG", "")

and the attach / detaching seems to work without any problem.

What happens if you detach the files instead of the volume?

What happens if you alias in the files instead of attaching them?

thanks for the reply.

detaching from a single table in the volume works fine.

these attachments are for our main db, so I would prefer not to use alias as a long-term soln. but i will try that and see how the detach works.
