I'm guessing they need to shut off write caching on the server or put in another server just for Foxpro. Depending how disk-intensive your application is, you can get by with just a NAS. Have I said lately how much I love my NAS lately? LOL

Michael, As for item #1 - I asked my Tech here - and he didn't know (we don't do any HW or Network support for this particular client). For 2 - he says they do have one. FYI - their server - they have several where their employees log into via Thin Clients. And, those servers are NOT the ones that have the Database system on it. But, some user was running some presentation SW on a thin client - and that thin client gobbled up the resources on that server - which then caused the user running our DBF system to have their session crash. So - that's the story... -K- -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Michael Madigan Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2012 4:29 PM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: USAGE Of Memos, Stability & an Error! We've been using memo fields for the main case history of a collection agency program for 20 years without problems. 1. Is opportunistic locking and write caching shut off on the data server? 2. Does the data server have a UPS on it and is the battery good? ----- Original Message ----- From: Kurt Wendt <kurtwe...@waitex.com> To: profox@leafe.com Cc: Sent: Wednesday, February 8, 2012 3:50 PM Subject: USAGE Of Memos, Stability & an Error! So - here where I work - they have generally stayed away from using MEMO Fields in the FoxPro system they have. This old guy that worked here for YEARS - he would Insist that they not be used in the system. Well, he's been gone for like 1.5 years by now. Well, recently - in 2 different client systems and for 2 different purposes - I decided to use a Memo field in a DBF. And, now it seems I may be regretting having done so. There has been one or more times with the one client - where there was a problem - and it seems that the Memo file or data got corrupted... _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/289ea162f5642645b5cf64d624c66a140b7ce...@us-ny-mail-002.waitex.net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
