Hi All,

I'm having trouble getting the TK to retrieve original records. It tells me "UNABLE TO FETCH/DECODE xxx record". I can load custom work okay. This is the first I've fired the TK up after having my original primary drive fry. The TK program is on a secondary drive which was never altered since it last worked okay. So far as I knew, I only needed to restore the .INI file to the windows/system dir. Can anyone tell me what I missed?
Oh yeah, the new drive now runs windows ME instead of '98 if that might have anything to do with it.

Thanks,
Bob

You probably have to rebuild the CD ROM cache.

Thanks for responding - Rebuilding the cache didn't clear it up. Well, if anyone knows offhand what the TK is looking for, I'd appreciate it. I guess I may have to try installing another TK download into the new drive.

When you installed your TK did you use both the blue and red cds?

FA Futures/FA-2 is Still Being Worked On and Will Be Released...

The toolkit was looking for some DLLs that you normally get during installation. I just copied them from another TK download onto my main drive. The drive the TK is on is VERY old and withstood a major temp rise in the bay whereas the newer one melted. Western Digital - Boy, they really build those babies. Thanks for your assistance CAG!

I had that error too. That's because my hard drive is partitioned. I have C and D. C is win98 and D xp NTFS. I copied the TK to D from C and got that error. So i manually copied and pasted that .dll for TK from C:/windows to D:/wndows. Then it workd.

I tried rebuilding the Cache as well, but even that gave me "ERROR: Unable to fetch record" on some file named "&BUTTON2.11K" (or similar) among with a number of other files. Still can't edit the original files.

As mentioned above you are missing the necessary DLL files...

BTW this is an OLD string! You must have dug deep to find it...

Man I miss hearing from Tank!

Excellent! Now all I need to know is what the DLL files are, where I can get them and where I need to place them

I wish I knew, as I have not had this issue, but Ali should be able to help you out...

Oh well... At least I can still use the toolkit to edit pilot data and Aircraft/Ordnance inventories for campaigns. (meaning I can play the Kuriles campaign on FAF after I've changed the RC-135's to AV-8B's )

Just send Ali a PM as I am sure he will be happy to let you know which DLL it is...

He is active on the forums so it shouldnt be a problem...
