Ahoy there Fellow Pro-Fox Groupies!
 
I've stumbed upon a rather strange problem here at work.
 
Yesterday I was connected to a client to trouble-shoot a problem. I was
connected via VNC to thier Server - where I was running out system and
tracking down the problem. I managed to figure out the problem - updated
a program - compile it - and send the FXP to them. I then ran the
system, and it then ran the new program - and all's-well-that-ends-well.
Or, at least I thought so...
 
So - a little while later - we get an e-mail from the client complaining
something is not working! And, if you can believe - the system/VFP is
claiming the file I updated - it can't actually find it. The strange
part is - if you run the system on thier server - the problem doesn't
occur. But, if you run the system on one of their workstations (error
happens on BOTH an XP and a Win7 system) - then the error occurs. Also,
from thier workstation - we can actually see that the file is THERE -
and it resides in the same folder with the rest of the database system.
But, when the system is running - its like it just can't see the file.
There was even a backed up version of the file in the same folder -
which we could see from the user's workstation - and we were even able
to delete that file from the workstation. So - the workstation/user can
physically see the file - but, the database system/VFP just can't see it
when it attempts to run it!
 
Very strange indeed - or at least I think its pretty strange.
 
Anyone have ANY Clues?
 

Thanks,

 -K-
