I've had a report back from the customer's IT people. I've asked them to send me copies of the actual errors reported but thought I'd share this.
"Looked at Karens PC tonight, many errors in the event logs, indicating network errors. Installed latest updated network card drivers, and errors stopped. Tested for 30 minuted between two machines using Realtek diagnostics with no errors. Hopefully this will sort it out, but it most likely was a network card driver issue on Karens PC. If it fixes it, I will update the rest of them." -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Graham Brown Sent: 22 June 2011 15:30 To: GrahamB Subject: RE: Variable not found in read events Thanks Tracy, I'll get the techies on site to run through these. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Tracy Pearson Sent: 22 June 2011 15:01 To: GrahamB Subject: RE: Variable not found in read events Graham Brown wrote on 2011-06-22: > Hi > > > I have a fox 8 app running codemine.

Usually it is our VFP 8 or VFP 9 executable running from the mapped server drive. We also see Invalid Seek Offset errors. Every time the problem has gone away when: 1) Anti-virus on workstations are set to NOT scan network drives 2) Anti-virus on the host/server machine is set to exclude the directory where the executable exists 3) Anti-virus site wide is set to exclude DBF, FPT, and CDX files There has been additional culprits at some sites. These include desktop search tools such as the Google Desktop Search, always on offsite backup programs, and a chatty network card or bad Ethernet cable.
