One of our clients, in a hospital setting, is running 4D Server 11.9. They are gradually replacing their Windows XP machines. The server runs on a rack-mounted machine in a server room that is stuffed to the gills with hardware. I have to schedule any access I might want.
They have updated to client machines running Windows 7. Fresh copy of 4D 11.9. -And I have one issue - there is one table where I store the machine preferences for printers and the like. Several years ago, you could see a gaggle of printers on the network, particularly from a Mac. So, we go fetch all the printers assigned to the machine, and allow them to select which printer is used for which task - normal printing, labels, etc. The named machine has a record in table A, main key is a longint, and the preferences for it in table B, linked with a longint to table A. And, when you go into the printer picking routine, it creates the base machine record and creates the printer assignments when it is validated. Now, table A gets a new record for the machine, but table B does not get any records. For records that exist in table B for other preferences, values can be changed through the normal procedures. And I have added myself as a patient to test and it added the normal suite of records to about 5 tables. Today, I went in a lunch, and ran a verify of the records and indexes, figuring I has a broken index. Wouldn’t you know, everything verifies - all records and all indexes. I figure the next step is to restart the server - it has to be scheduled for the end of the day - the clinics can’t be disrupted during the day. Any other suggestions? _________________________________________ Bob McKeever http://www.mswl.com <http://www.mswl.com/> McKeever's Software Wizardry Port Coquitlam, B.C. bobmckee...@mac.com ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) FAQ: http://lists.4d.com/faqnug.html Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:4d_tech-unsubscr...@lists.4d.com **********************************************************************
