I'm trying to use FoxPro runtime (multiuser) under DesqView and having a problem. When using DesqView, the file and record locks in FoxPro don't work. In other words, I can open a database (exclusively) in one window, then switch windows and open the same database (exclusively) again. Is this really happening, or am I brain dead? By the way, when switching windows, DesqView is swapping because of lack of memory. Could this have anything to do with it? Thanx in advance for any ideas. -- Daiv Stoner aindiana@osiris.cso.uiuc.edu daiv@coplex.UUCP

I think some of the problem may be related to something I noticed in FoxBase+ Multiuser. Are you running these databases on a network volume of some type? FoxBase+ would lock up when I tried to do file/ record locking via DesqView on a *local* drive, but when I threw them up on our Novell server, it worked fine. Anyone care to comment on this? =By the way, when switching windows, DesqView is =swapping because of lack of memory. Could this have anything to =do with it? Dunno - Haven't tried it with FoxPro runtime - have it here, though... maybe I'll try it... ,___, .--------------------------------------------------------------. \o.o/ | Dave Shevett | Unix-PC BOF | The shortest distance between | ( \_/ ) | Lawrenceville,NJ | TCF '91 | two puns is a Straight Line | |_|_| | shevett@mccc.EDU | Apr 20-21st | -- Doc Webster | '--------------------------------------------------------------'
