Very Computer

I am experiencing some problems with pdoxwin 7/32 on an NT 4 server.

The specifics are as follows:
Win'95 clients - some fat16, some fat32
Server: NT server 4 - service pack 3 with NTFS

All clients have pdoxwin runtime 7/32, but code and data reside exclusively on the server.
The net-dir is pointed to the server with identical paths with full access rights.
Local share is set to true on the clients, and opportunistic locking has been turned
off based on a document I got from Mike Irwin.

When I alter a record on one machine and then try to alter it on another
machine, it takes approximately 25 seconds of "hanging" before it discovers
the lock put on the record by machine one.

On another pure win'95 peer-to-peer network, the time to resolve the locking
is less than half a second on similar machines.

Can it be related to the fat32 on some clients even though the data is stored on
the NT server ??

Sincerely,
Anders Torvill Bjorvand

in Tools | settings | preferences play with the refresh rate and retry
period settings (under Databases tab, I think)

BGW: it's Edit | preferences

I will sure give it a try, Mike, but I believe that the standard settings are utilized both
here and in my test environment where this works fine. At least network refresh rate
deals with another matter, basically. The retry period might be relevant to my problem,
so I will ask my client to test this.

I have now tried, in the same network, a peer to peer configuration
with the same result, so the harm wasn't caused by the NT 4 server.

The system behaves properly, technically, but the delay before we get the
message concerning the lock is 10-15 seconds (measured after I upgraded
from bde 3 to bed 3.5f to handle fat-32). In my experience, it should be
less than half a second.

The network has 11 computers connected through ethernet on a hub.
The hub is named: "accton etherhub 16s+" and has 16 slots.

If anybody has a clue - please post them...

Howdy:

The only time that I've ever run across an inordinate amount of time
to do something simple, it turned out that it was Norton AntiVirus
looking at every single file being opened prior to "giving" it back to
Paradox.  It may be something from "left field" causing your problem.

HTH.

BTW, what's "BGW" <g>

It could be interpreted as By Gods Way, but that wouldn't come from the
left field - would it?
Ok, ok, ok - it was a typo.... :-)
