Are there any special quirks with Windows 10 and Samba... Using Visual Foxpro 9 on Windows 7 with the data and program files on a Samba file server. Will need to move to Windows 10 in a year so doing some testing. Everything works on one machine with 10 while on another it will not call the main.prg file on the Samba server. Trying to figure out if it is VFP9 issue or a quirk with Samba. Curious if anyone has any thought. Happy Holidays. Tom
Windows 7 does not support ver SMB3 for the CIFS file sharing. You may want to set the max protocol values on your samba server to be SMB2 only. This would at least eliminate SMB3 being a factor. Is visual foxpro accessing the main.prg file via a drive mapping (e.g. X mapped to \\server1\users\myname) or directly to the UNC path ( e.g \\server1\users\myname.) Presumably you are logged into windows as a regular user not an admin ?

I am accessing Visual Foxpro and main.prg inside a shortcut by first calling the VFP9 and then the mapping of the file server with the directories to the program.... "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9\vfp9.exe" F:\??_???\progs\main.prg. Would max protocol = SMB2 be the correct format? Thanks for the thoughts.

Checked my smbstatus...Win7 machines show SMB2_10 while the Win 10 Machines online show Unknown (0x0311). I also have oplocks on the share for VFP9 share...could this be a conflict? As a side question, how do I search the samba reflector in the past? Tom
