 Win95, NT 4.0 Server, Clipper 5.2e - NEED HELP - URGENT
Hi everybody, I'm having the following problem: - I have a Win NT 4.0 Server (config. as Primary Domain controler - I need it this way because of password validation), and some (about 25) workstations running Win95. - When I open the files (both the .DBF and the .EXE reside on the Server - I tried with the .EXE in each workstation, but with no improvement - not better), it can't open the files at first, but if I choose retry several times, most of the times I finally can open all the files (in some cases there is 60 or files open at once - I have FILES=100 and SET CLIPPER=F95). - In other customers, with one 'Server' Win95 and 1 or 2 workstatios, I have the same problem. Please, somebody help me, I'm completely stuck. TIA -- Arsnio Fernandes Tavinfor, Lda. & AlgarSoft, Lda.

Do you have any restrictions on your shared directory on the NT Server?? (Users,files Read/write and so on) You must have ReadOnly on your EXE file on the Server. Do you open your data/index files in shared mode? Regards Raymond Quote:

Hi Raymond, Thanks for your answer, but I think you didn't understand the whole situation, or I didn't explain myself very well (sorry, but I am Portuguese and my English is not the best).

I have the normal restrictions: Users can RWX. Quote: > You must have ReadOnly on your EXE file on the Server. Do you open your > data/index files in shared mode?
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. TIA -- Arsnio Fernandes Tavinfor, Lda. & AlgarSoft, Lda.

We have similar problem opening some files on Windows 95 machines. We found that by switching from exospace to blinker solves the problem. Please consider a different linker. Quote:
