| This post relates to my previos LOCKING error post
By the kind help of another individual here, he gave me some advise on how
to perhaps resolve a problem with my File Locking issues that I cannot seem
to find a solution for.
My application that is having the problem is installed in a network
environment. The application has been installed, BDE included, on each
workstation and on the SERVER/WORKSTATION, i have Set LOCAL SHARE = .t. on
each stations BDE
This kind fellow tells me that instead I should only have one copy of the
application on the server/station, and on the workstations I should have
nothing more than a shortcut to the EXE on the C drive on the server/station
no BDE components installed what so ever. I have done it this way for
10 years now by installing a separate copy of the application on each
workstation, have I been doing this wrong all these years ??
Now I tried what he said to me and I made some modification to my WIN.INI
per his suggestions, as follows
********************
********************
[visual dbase install]
userName=Eddie Muniz
companyName=Powersof
t Technologies, Inc.
location=Y:\VISUALDB
Runtime55=Y:\IDAPI
[idapi]
dllPath=Y:\IDAPI
configFile01=Y:\IDAP
I\IDAPI.CFG
[Borland Language Drivers]
LDPath=Y:\IDAPI\LANG
DRV
********************
********************
****
The Y drive being the mapped drive both on the SERVER/STATION and on the
WORKSTATIONS.. When I attempt to run DME2000.EXE on the station that only
has the shortcut to the EXE I get the following error " CANNOT LOAD
DB55RUN.EXE" as I expected, what not. Can someone shed some clear light
on this. Is there any good KNOWLEDGEBASE Doc that cna help me with this, I
have looked and cannot find anything.
THANKS !!
