Hello,
as the subject says, i have a multiuser application accessing dbf files on a server. when the user started the application i noticed that it take a verrrryyy llooooong time to launch and the net work hub blinks like crazy. After sometime(3 months) the app would stop working and created the error message ("invalid database name"
. i poke around the server and found nothing wrong (its a windows NT 4 btw) so i checked the clients, and there is also nothing wrong, but when i checked the "show hidden files" it shows files starting from "000.dbf" to "999.dbf" and the structures and content somewhat matches the .dbf files on the server.
I deleted the files from 000 all the way to 999 and the app runs smoothly again. so no every 3 months i have to clean up the user workstation of all these files!!!
i can assure u that there is nothing, at least that i know of, in my code that tells the computer to do this, could u guys tell me how to get rid of this ? ,
does .dbf tables get copied to workstation before the ws do anything to them ?
thx in advance
