Hello Listers,
I discovered a nasty incompatibility between Pro and Norton software
yesterday and thought I'd share it with the group. I run Norton System Works
Premier on my main PC. A couple of times a week, in the night, it runs a
Checkup program which does a number of system maintenance jobs. One task is
called Cleanup which, among other things, cleans up temporary files.
The problem occurred when I left a Pro session running overnight (doing
nothing, just waiting for me to come back to it in the morning) which had a
browser window open showing the results of a query ("Query1"). When I got in
I noticed that the results of my query had disappeared and now Pro was
reporting that temporary files could not be found. My conclusion was that
the Norton clean-up had deleted the files thinking they were no longer in
use. I guess Pro had not kept a lock on them.
So, if you're running any Norton product which includes a scheduled
check-up, including "clean-up", make sure you have not left any open queries
running when the utility runs according to schedule.
