A problem. My company has developed a Clipper application (summer '8) which has a number of reports in R&R (version 3). The application is mutli-user, and the problem is thus :- When a record is locked in the .DBF, if another user is running one of the R&R reports, R&R terminates the report after a short while, with the a 'lookup failure' message on the .DBF being rlocked() by another user. The lookup failure wouldn't be on the rlocked() record either. My question is this - does Clipper lock the index file too?, thus preventing R&R from finding a relation? Has anybody come up with a work around for this problem?, not allowing file write access in R&R is out of the question due to the on-line nature of the application. Any help would be gladly apprieciated!
