Fred, I'm curious if your setup has data on one server, and the VFP applications are on another server. If they are setup this way, how much activity do the VFP data files get?
And for everyone else... I know we have trouble with index corruption. It is partly the VM server hosting the data gets a little overwhelmed from time to time, and partly due to how this 30+ year code base uses the tables. We have over 600 users connecting to one of 18 VM's which access various datasets on one of four VM's during our peak times of the week. Corruption seems to be an everyday thing. We have some crucial areas that depend on the indexes. In these areas, we have implemented code to verify or just reindex the files when the user goes in to the process. We also delete and create the indexes daily for some customers (maybe 20 out of 3600+). Have a good one, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Fred Taylor Sent: Thursday, March 21, 2019 12:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: File Access Issues We recently upgraded to a new server box from running Windows Server 2008 (3 VM's) to Windows Server 2019 (running 6 VM's). Most of the VM's have access to FoxPro data and function without incident. Have you made sure that Windows Defender has also been set to ignore .DBF/.CDX/.FPT files on both the servers and the workstations?
