Now this could very well be the problem. On reflection what is happening is
that a user will quit my app and then immediately zip their database and
send it to a remote site. The remote site then gets the "File locked by
another user" message - presumably because the .LCK file was zipped up with
the data files.
And this is being caused because windoze has not yet deleted the .LCK file
after the user has quit the app, due to cacheing?
Questions :
1. Is there a way to flush the cache say on exiting the app?
2. Failing that, where does one 'back-off' the windoze cacheing?
TIA
