When I try to import the new date base, I get a Run-time error 3201`: You cannot add or change a record because a related record is required in table tPlatform. Then if I try play the game, I get the following error message: ADDID to list error: expected a dick ID, got 53369 (Oxd079) This message had been logged. The program will now terminate. Additionally, if I try to run the platform editor, Get Disk Annex Error: (-8175 [Exe011])=2 This message has been logged. The program will now terminate.

I've been playing 20+ years and have uploaded many a new DB many times. However, I know little about DBs so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!!

Hi Steve

Is this playing harpoon 3\ANW or harpoon classic? I see its filed in the harpoon 3\anw section but to me the db id looks more of a hc db (hcdb2 170909). I'm not familiar at all with anw but the error messages remind me of ones I've seen when (badly) amending db files in hc.

Steve,

The db HCDB2-170909 you are trying to load is a Harpoon Commander Edition d. It may not be compatible with Harpoon 3.

Eric.

Sorry, Yes, I am running HUCE not Harpoon 3

Try downloading HCDB2 from HARPGAMER and install a fresh copy. See if that fixes your problem.

HCDB2 will nor work with the Scenarios that come with HUCE. The official db for HUCE is HCDB-250724 (1980-2015 era).

Here is the link: https://harpgamer.com/harpforum/files/file/235-hcdb-250724-1980-2015-era/

Thanks for the recommendation. I attempted that but received the a Runtme 3201 error. Is it because I'm using an older Access 2000 version? I'm using that because I have purchased a refurbished 32 bit computer just to run this game. and the refurbisher recommended that it not have access to the internet for security reasons because it uses a very old OS system.
