I'm reposting this as it never arrived back out here in Oregon. This is the second time in a week that one of my postings to this list went down the black email hole.
AFAIK that won't work if you are staying connected in multiuser mode. You have to do the following: DISCONNECT SET MULTI OFF CONNECT dbname RELOAD new_dbname DISCONNECT DELETE dbname.rb? REN new_dbname.rb? dbname.rb? It sounds like you are staying connected in multiuser mode. If you are connected with MULTI set to OFF and still having this problem then it is probably a situation where locks placed by SHARE, or its equivalent in your system, are not getting released so that the file cannot be deleted. --------------------------------------- At 05:46 PM 12/4/2002 -0500, you wrote: >RBase 6.5++ > >We've had a couple of post on this one and I am still trying to nail it down. > >In my Reload code I make sure that only one user is using our multi user >app by attempting to Set Multi Off, and then if Reload has no errors: > >Disconnect >Delete old_dbname.rb? >Rename new_dbname.rb? old_dbname.rb? >Connect old_dbname >.... > >And, I get: > >-ERROR- Cannot delete connected database.
