We found an Anti-Virus program kept the dbf open long enough for the PACK to fail. We would usually find the packed data in a temp file sitting in the folder where the DBF should be.
For some clients, it might have been a combination of spyware and anti-virus applications conflicting with the open state of the DBF. HTH, Tracy -----Original Message----- From: Sytze de Boer Sent: Saturday, November 01, 2008 5:58 PM In my app, I have a re-index routine. Before it re-creates the indexex, it packs the files (All free standing tables) The routine goes blah blah use (thefile) excl delete tag all of (thefile) pack This has worked without problems for 10 years and I cannot identify why it bombs out with this client. The message is "File already exists.", error no 7 The system bombs out When I re-enter, the message is error 5. With error 5, my system automatically performs a re-index and all is well (again) i.e. error 7 is not encountered till you explicitly perform the re-index routine This user has 23 people on Terminal Server I can't figure the problem Diskspace is ok Any help is appreciated -- Regards Sytze de Boer Kiss Systems Ph: 64-7-8391670, Mob:021 937611, Skype: kissman2 www.kiss.co.nz _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
