Invalid Data File problem on network

[SrdjanA]

Hello Everyone,

I have a Clarion 5.5 program that works fine on single computer (server), but when I try to run it from another network station, I get "Invalid Data File" error. It's a
Windows XP Pro network, about 10 computers.
I found a solution (not very good one) - when the program is active on server, it works on workstations also!
I guess the thing is that files must be already open before I try to access them over the network.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

I have a similar set up and works fine for me.

What I do is I install the program and all its files on the server then I map the server drive in the XP PC and put just an Icom pointing to my program. There is no software or files in the client, everything runs from the server.

Using this setup has worked for me. I hope this helps.

Joe

Thanks for your reply. I have a few questions.
How large is your program? Mine is about 4MB, and databases are around 2MB. And I forgot to mention that I use DAT (Clarion for DOS) databases. It works fine on my home network (2 PCs) but company network is a problem.
