...on a related note... I'm using FPDOS 2.5 and VFP 9 on a mix of WINXP and WIN 7 PRO systems...45 systems total. No problem with index corruption.
The server is running CentOS (Samba) and it is easy to see who has which DBF files open with Webmin (although you can't see who is using which record.) I would suspect you have network hardware issues...either a bad NIC or cable problems....that is causing your index corruption, not a mix of VFP and FPWIN (assuming the data engine for FPW and FPDOS are the same.) Mike Copeland -------- Original Message -------- Subject: is there another way to determine who has a database open? From: Michael Madigan <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Date: 4/16/2012 4:06 PM We have been using a ReadyNAS for our main database server. It has worked flawlessly for several years now. Lately we've been getting corruption errors which I'm pretty sure is due to a mix of VFP on 64-bit Win 7 and FPW 2.5. We are almost ready to go completely VFP on all machines. When we need to rebuild a tag, there doesn't seem to be anywhere on the NAS administration a way to determine who has a record locked. Is there a way already in Foxpro to determine this, or would I have to build some sort of check-in / check-out database to keep track of users?
