Hello,
I support a legacy application on FWP26a win version. All the development is on a win95 computer and the exe is created here as well... We currently have users on Win 95/98 and Win2000 and were on a Novell server... We resolved all the errors, applied all patches and all was hunky dory ... The users access the app via a mapped drive. We currently moved from Novell to a Nas device, win2000, I am not sure of the SP... During testing all was wonderful. We only were able to test with 3 users but there we no errors at all... I even ran a heavey update job that prints ~300 order as the other two were pouncing away.. This weekend all the users were brought in, we went live today. We have maybe 6 superusers that update and punch away... The other users connect in intermittently thruout the day or launch the app and leave it minimized until they need it. Work went from 7:30 am until 8:45 am and all the user machines locked up in the immediate area I was in... The major databases were corrupt and needed reindexing and we began to get many alias errors.. After repairing all was fine and they began to work again, again about 20 minutes later, all froze and again damage done to the db's...
My main question would be - does anyone know of any issues with running FPW26a apps on various Win95/Win98/Win2000 PC's and a Win2000 Server .
Also note security - if certain users were not given the correct rights to this new device and mapping would it cause the system to lock up across the board
if just one user did not have the correct rights could it cause an error that can cause everything to not function at all ...
I am lost here - - All testing went fine - -
Any advice?
Please respond asap as this is a production environment...
Thank You
