I meant "bad" for the health & integrity of the file. I'm sure there are valid technical reasons for the evolution of SMB protocols, opportunistic locking behaviors, write-chaching, etc. But it doesn't really help me if my files are trashed in the name of performance. IMHO file integrity needs to trump performance.

They're not bad decisions, in fact they're very necessary for the sort of performance required in modern networks, and legacy file format and locking methods like DBF and CDX use are less and less of a concern. IMO it will get to a point where having VFP data on a NAS device running Samba will be far more robust than a a Windows share. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/DF1EEF11E586A64FB54A97F22A8BD044228264DFF6@ACKBWDDQH1.artfact.local ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
