I'm trying to think of a way other running processes could affect the numerical calculations in the way described.
I've been around long enough to remember the Pentium FDIV bug which is what this reminds me of, except that of course it does produce the right answers on the same machine as a different user! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, 28 May 2008 4:44 p.m. To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] Calculations affected by login > A further point of interest is that a tester, in a different > organisation, reports the same issue i.e. it doesn't produce the > correct answers as a network user but does on a standalone pc.

I assume you've done a thorough check for any differences in startup/background processes between the different logins? And tried tweaking (if this is possible) with the level/style of permissions given in the network case, to see if you can isolate a change which affects the problem? cheers, peter =========================================== Peter Hyde, Development Director * http://TurboNote.com -- top-rated onscreen sticky notes * TCompress components for Delphi: http://webcentre.co.nz _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe _______________________________________________ NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi mailing list Post: [email protected] Admin: http://delphi.org.nz/mailman/listinfo/delphi Unsubscribe: send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with Subject: unsubscribe
