Paradox on WinXP Mapped Drive2003-12-27 05:24:23 AM off-topic0 I am having a bad problem with Paradox tables on a WinXP mapped drive. I am running a Delphi app on a workstation, which accesses Paradox tables on another machine by means of a mapped drive (F:). When the workstation loses the network connection, the app continues to function, apparently because WinXP has cached the database to the local machine. Then when we reestablish the network connection, Windows gives the message "Synchronizing F: to F:". This is where the problem begins, because if another user has changed the data via another workstation, the index gets out of date. Even worse, a subsequent rebuild ends up corrupting the database. Any ideas or hints on how to prevent this are greatly appreciated! |
