Delphi/Paradox Time Out

[Natacha]

We have recently gone a course for delphi vs 5 and we are busy writing a system in delphi using corel paradox. Some of our programmers get a "Time Lock Out" error - does anyone know what this means and does anyone know how to solve it?

I think this has something to do with not being able to access a table.&nbsp;&nbsp;Main culprits are (a) one of the programmers locking a table or (b) a slow or faulty network connection.&nbsp;&nbsp;(I'll have to check this on the network at home.)&nbsp;&nbsp;In the meantime, if your Portuguese is good, follow the thread on <A HREF="

Forget the table locks.&nbsp;&nbsp;I can confirm two possible causes for the error.&nbsp;&nbsp;Time Lock Out can happen with a bad/slow network connection or server overload.

Could you perhaps tell me how you went about it or any proof? The network team here say it's impossible!

Put 2 clients on a LAN which connects to the server via 2 routers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Set the speed between the routers to something slow, say 56kbits/s.&nbsp;&nbsp;Just generate a LOT of network traffic from one of the clients, say pushing a 50MB file up to the server.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then try using Paradox on the other client.&nbsp;&nbsp;Also, I found verification on a corel newgroup thread.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'll forward emails.

I've no email address for you.&nbsp;&nbsp;See<br>news://cnews.corel.ca/corelsupport.paradox-win_other_versions message of 12 June 2000 &quot;Lock Time Out&quot;

Have paradox 7 running on pc which is connected to network and running a lot of scripts to produce a report. Process runs for approximately 2 to 3 hours then fails on one specific table. Cannot emulate problem on my own pc. Are you sure it is the network? If not, what?

You added this to a discussion that is 5 years old...???

Can you start a new question, and describe your situation in detail?
