Concerned me that my Windows 7 users might be having the same problem with what we've recently shipped. Since we had trouble with file copies from our hosted version to a users local machine, I wrote a process that will display a progress bar showing the copy using LLFF's.
The process was specific: Create the file locally. Close the 0 bite file. Open it again without buffering. Then open the file to be copied. Get the size. Reset the pointer. Start the copy process, updating a progress bar. Close both files, and update the time stamps (create, access, and write). This process was done because some workstations, even here at the office running different anti-virus and even testing with no anti-virus caused timeout issues with the copy process. The specific close and reopen prevents the timeout problem. Testing on a Windows 7 64 bit machine, the file copies (as described above) still work here.

We copy without specifying that those bits are preserved, so the local file assumes the datetime of the copy. Or has, up to this point. No file is copied, as the program fails before then. > When the network file is read only, it may be problematic to get that > specific information. "Was working fine on Friday." We checked and the network rights seem okay. Other machines at the client (not Win7) are running okay. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ 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/001601cab40d$c270b020$475210...@com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
