Sharing violation error

[austinms]

I am using an application which has been developed in MS Foxpro 2.6a (DOS). My network OS is MS Windows NT 4. The problem I am facing is the application throws a "Sharing violation reading Drive N:" (N: being the netwrok drive) everytime I am exiting the application.

I have tried changing the attribute of the EXE/ESL and resource files.

Can anyone suggest a solution?

I found this faq in google, but is no longer in the site of microsoft:

Follow these six troubleshooting steps:
1. Verify that each user has a FOXUSER.DBF file.
2. Verify that the CONFIG.FP file on the server includes the EXCLUSIVE=OFF statement. If EXCLUSIVE=OFF is used, database files can be shared.
3. Verify that the CONFIG.FP file on the server includes the RESOURCE=OFF statement, or that each user's FOXUSER.DBF and FOXUSER.FPT files are marked read-only.
4. Verify that the FOXPRO.EXE, FOXPROX.EXE, and FOXR.EXE files are marked read-only.
5. If you use the Distribution Kit to create a stand-alone application (.EXE), verify that the .EXE file is marked read-only.
6. If you create compact executable files, make the .ESL and .ESO support files read-only.
7. In some cases, the MS-DOS SHARE program must be loaded on the server and on each workstation. Specify the /F and /L parameters as follows:
SHARE /F:5120 /L:500.
