>I have the normal restrictions: Users can RWX.

>> You must have ReadOnly on your EXE file on the Server. Do you open your

>It is ReadOnly, and the files are All opened in shared mode.

>But the problem is that I sometimes (a few) can open all the files without
>no problems, and many times not.

>I open the files in a loop, it tries first and if not success, wait 0.5
>seconds and try again for 5 seconds in the total, and if after that have no
>success, open an Alert box and asks if the user wants to try again, and
>re-starts the 5 seconds proccess. Some times the app., after trying many
>times, can open all the files, but many times not.
>After this, the user must cancel the operation, and re-start from the
>beginning.

>The problem arises after opening some files (the number is not always the
>same), so it seems to have dificultty in handling many files, but the
>configuration seems to be Ok.

>I think the problem is not in the app., but in the Windows, any bug that I
>coundn't find yet, or any configuration trick that I'm not aware of.
