Hi Mohsin,
I get the same thing with one of my clients (app written in BCB4), all
of their machines are NT4 Workstation.
I have attributed it to the following:
a) main data file is over 100MB
even though this isn't meant to be a problem
b) slow network
c) not all machines have BDE configured optimally.
As for the third part, I have configured the BDE on a few of the
machines to increase the number of file handles, buffer sizes, etc., and
this seems to have improved their performance. I'm not convinced that
it will solve the index corruption problems.
My guess is that it is the combination of a) and b) above that cause the
problem.
As yet I haven't found a way around this.
Regards,
Bevan
