Hi ! I have an unique situation. An SCO Unixware 7.1.3 with Samba 2.2.7a (yes, i know; it sucks !) On the machine, is running MS Foxpro 2.6 for UNIX (it's running pretty well for several years) but due to new demands (like Crystal Reports, Visual view; etc) the directories with DBF files were shared using Samba. At the beginning, when everything was only about reading, there were no

I am failing to lock a database file on a unix server (Solaris486) when the file lock request is sent from Visual Foxpro on Windows 95. Any suggestions on testing procedures, or even a solution?? Please feel free to assume that I don't know anything about file locks! I don't even know how Visual Foxpro attempts to lock a file. Would the Foxpro lock be recognised by any application?

It accesses to the files via DAO 2.0. A lot of times in the days the users gets 'currently locked' messages when the application open the dbf's files with read only access! I desactivated the

Ok, I'm sure you've answered this more then once, but still here it is : I have a FoxPro 2.0 for Lan application that used to run on DOS boxes connected to a Novell server (and of course with Novel client). Both FoxPro .exe, .prg and database/index files reside on the shared disk, and the client only maps a shared drive and starts the FoxPro application from there. Due to some

Hi, could someone please give me the correct entries for using Foxpro with a samba share. I tried everything I can think of in the smb.conf but I am always confronted with locking problems and multiuser issues: Upgraded to version 2.2.5 smb.conf (among other things of course) oplocks=off lock spin count = 3 lock spin time = 25 locking=yes Is there anything you can tell me. It is very urgent and

Ok so maybe someone can explain this to me. I've been banging my head against the wall on this one for several weeks now and the powers that be are starting to get a little impatient. What we've got is an old FoxPro application, the FoxPro .dbf's being stored on a Linux fileserver using Samba (Fedora 3 currently, using Fedora 5 on the new test server). We're having speed

Hello, and Happy News Year from France J Since 4 month I'm trying to configure Samba 3 on an Ubuntu server 10 to replace a W2k server. The client software is used over Windows XP vista and seven.

I know it's possible to access linux odbc data from inside wine, but I'm wondering if there's any way to access wine odbc data from Linux through odbc (or anything else). I ask this because I have data that can only be accessed via windows odbc drivers (a foxpro database), but I'd really like to interface with it from python in Linux (without having to run python under wine). The

Hi, First of all, apologies if I'm not posting this in the correct place. I'm successfully running Microsoft Visual Foxpro 7 under Wine, however I needed to use the native versions of shlwapi and oleaut32. There is a major problem still, however, and that is that foxpro will freeze as soon as I use the mouse to click in certain controls (the command window, a textbox, an edit box,

Is Samba (1.19) incompatible with FoxPro? We have tried to network a database package (FoxPro is the underlying DBMS) by putting it in a Samba share. The database starts up and you can browse the tables, but it looks as though FoxPro's record locking system causes the entire share to be locked, so that further access to the shared drive (both in FoxPro and in the Windows98 Explorer) is

I have a very nasty problem on a small network using a linux 2.2.5-15 and Samba 2.0.3 (RH 6.0) server and two clients Win95 and Win98. I have to use a program of commercial administration made in clipper . On Novell servers this program works fine but on Samba server It does not allow that the two stations access the same file concurrently. The same problem is shown when in Fox Pro I am

Hi all... Last monday i migrated form novell 4.0 to Samba 3.0 PDC.

Its perfomance has been very poor since i changed the server. PLEASE HELP ME, since its in production and i really don know what to do. thanks, sebastian davancens

Hi All, I am experiencing issues with the use of DBase files on a Samba 2.0.5a share, that appear to be due to locking problems. Basically, I have test programs for both DOS and Win32 that does nothing but append records to a DBase database (DBF/MDX files). If more than one client PC is appending to this file, data loss occurs. I get random data loss, with records lost, and index file

Can we solve it through Locking and how????
