Does anyone have experience with getting an Act! database working without corruption on a Samba server? I had five users in an Act! database where I was getting pretty regular corruption, even after adding "oplocks = no" to the share. We have since moved the database onto a Win 2000 machine, but we would rather have it back on the Samba server if we can solve the corruption problem. Any help would be appreciated. Linus
We are running act! databases on a samba share since the beginning of the year and we had no problem since then. As long as the database files are owned by the user who open them.

You may want to check the list archive as I've seen discussions with regard to specifically the Act database (I don't use it personally so I don't know much). If my memory serves me right, it was either a patch was issued, or fixed in the latest CVS or somewhere along that line. Kohei On Wed, 2002-06-05 at 13:06, C.

I have multiple users in a single database all at the same time. Do you have experience with multiple users in one database? Linus
