INDEX ERROR in NT-Networks using Paradox-DB′s

Hello All,

I have the following problem:

we wrote a programm using Paradox Databases. In Novell-networks
we have no problem running the program.
In NT-Networks (NT4.0 SP3) we get sometimes INDEX-Errors, but only in
networks with more than 3 workstations. Does anyone know this Problem?
Please answere!

Thanks

Jrgen Bucher

Hi everyone,
Hi Jrgen
If you are a problem with Paradox Tables
You must declare a "NET DIR" global for anyone workstation in the BDE
administrator.
By example :
the local dir (for nt) is d:\soft\data where the tables are present,
shared the directory
Every workstation are a logical disk to NT , by example "U: to
d:\soft\data"
The BDE "NET DIR" will be "U:\"
BDE will strore the "pdoxuser.net" file for a good share ...

Excuse me for a "little english"
Bon courage ...;-)

Juergen:

Assuming you have the network set up correctly, there is a known problem
with the NT system - you can get a dlayed write from the file cache,
causing sometines sever users - the more users, the worse the problem.

We have an article on our Components page - "Delphi & Networks" with
lots of information.

It has an "OPLOCKS" section telling how to deal with the problem.

Hope this helps.
