wine users - Mar 2007 - Amicus Attorney

Hi,

Amicus Attorney is a server/client Practice Management software for law 
firms. We run it on a Windows 2000 server.

We have our file sharing on SMBS Linux server

I run a dual boot PC.

I have installed Amicus Client successfully with Wine. The fonts look pretty 
good. All the database info gets installed fine.

The problem is it does not synchronise so it cannot add to or collect info 
from/to the database on the WIndows server.

I have the drives mapped on in ./wine/.../unc

The problem is not the mapped drives it seems to me seems to be server client. 
I have looked in the Wine documentation and www and not found a good thread 
on this. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Many thanks.
Raena

For what it's worth, there's at least one other person
who ran Amicus Attourney:

though I don't know if he used it on a network.

I wonder if the problem might not be file locking, which
might not be turned on by default on your file server.
But I don't know enough about the problem you're having
to say.

Can your problem be reproduced using the free trial at
http://www.amicusattorney.com/sales/sales_free_trial.asp
?  If so, then maybe a Wine developer could work on this.
All we need is a recipe to follow to reproduce the bug.

The best place to file that recipe is as a bug at http://bugs.winehq.org
but replying to this message would be ok, too.
