trace window writes "source not available" in multi-user environment

[indarto]

I open 2 foxpro software in windows98 platform (which allow several foxpro software open at the same time in multi-user environment) to debug a program in multiuser environment.
I open trace window in each of the foxpro software and for the 1st trace window I click Do for *.prg and for the 2nd trace window, when I click Do for the same *.prg, I can not debug the program because in the trace window writes "source not available". Please kindly inform me how to debug the same *.prg using Trace window in multi-user environment?

I believe the debugger requires exclusive use of the source file, so I don't believe you can't do this. I'm not sure why you'd want to anyway.

My additional information for using more than one Trace Window:
I make programs for single user and now want to modify it for multi-user environment, but I have no experience in multi-user programming, that's why I want to check and make sure there is no conflict in the program by using multiple TRACE WINDOWs.
Please let me know how to debug the multi-user program ?

Like Rick says, only one trace window can be accessing a given .prg at a time.
You could put some WAIT WINDOWs at various steps in the routine so one machine will pause while you step through code on another, or put @...SAYs at some places to put some out put to the screen.

Hi Indarto,

One other option would obviously be to
-copy the project file and source into another directory, -fiddle the settings of the project a bit,
-have your two config.fpw files pointing to the two different directories

You'll have some synchronising to do just before testing, but it should work.

Best regards,
