Hi David,
You are right, this shouldn't happen the way you explained it.
Can you give an example of the code that does this lookup for both users?

Hello David,
I am not sure if this is applicable but it
popped into my head as I think of common issues between users.
· Is the scratch folder for temporary
files their local computer or the same for all on the server?
· REFRESH <> 0 (Maybe?)
· Display command?
· Maybe something in the rbase.cfg file
if it is being shared among users?
I hope at least it sparks a new venue of thought
in your troubleshooting process.
Good luck,
Manuel

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Strange Multi-user Behavior
Dear Friends
I have some very strange behaviour going on in a
multi-user application that Ive never encountered before.
Application: still on R:Base 6.1a for DOS (upgrade in progress)
User A: selects a menu item that just LOOKS UP
variables and DISPLAYS the variables on the
screen information about a member in the
organization: say Alan Adams. This data is NOT
on a form just using WRITE commands to put variables on the screen
The code then does NOT refresh that display, but
displays either a menu of choices under the
display or a form with data from a different table.
User B: Selects the same menu item: diplays a
different user in the same fashion, say Ben Billings
User A SOMETIMES not always by any means
will now look up at the screen, having taken NO
action on the keyboard, and finds that Alan
Adams info has been replaced by Ben Billings
I cant even begin to conceive how this could happen!!! Any ideas?
