Hi, We have struggled with a problem for years with Clipper, and it happens in Harbour too. But that is not to say that either of these are to blame. The problem is that when a huge amount of DBF (using six driver, fwiw) type file creation and modification, etc etc, happens over a shared network drive in Windows, and the hosting drive is on a Vista or higher OS, we have problems with inaccurate data because the network protocol is not strict enough when it comes to two people changing the same file, etc etc. This is never a problem when hosting from Win2k, and XP I believe also is okay.
So, as a last resort, I was wondering if any of you guys have dealt with this, and know of a solution. Currently, we found one way to deal with it, but it's not 100% perfect as it only supports certain builds of Vista, and not Windows 7, and would probably take forever to support all these OS's. It involves changing some registry settings to disable smb2 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block ). Maybe it's my lucky day, and some of you guys have had this problem and found a permenant solution to deal with it. I ask here, as I imagine maybe someone else doing network .dbf work might have run into this at some point in their lives. Thank you for reading. -- smu johnson <smujohn...@gmail.com>
