RBase is in one directory on the network, the db's are in the same directory.. so the rbase version has to be the same.. I have not found hardly any difference in running rbase on the network comapared to local and db's being on the net. Each user's CFG file is the identical except for the NAME tag. Each user starts rbase with a shortcut defined like this: K:\rbti\RBDOS65\RBASE65.EXE -ok:\rbusers\username\rbase.cfg -r --The username here is the users network/login name, and the cfg file --like I said is a copy of the other, except for the NAME tag within the file
I set mess and err mess on conn with user 2.. checked staticdb .. it was OFF left this user connected
went to user on set mess and err mss on checked staticdb .. it was OFF attempted to conn got error 7 cannot connect to db
went to my machine -- I have same setup/rights as user one -- network admin I can connect just fine
This is most puzzling Still banging head Jim Limburg

Jim,
While everyone else is successfully CONNected to the same database on the network, follow the steps below on his/her workstation to narrow it down:
01. Re-Start/Boot user PC for fresh start
02. Start R:BASE 6.5++ for DOS (Build:1.866xRT03)
03. Make sure that MESSAGES and ERROR MESSAGES are ON
At the R> prompt:
SET MESSAGES ON SET ERR MESS ON
04. At the R> prompt:
SHOW VERSION (to make sure that he/she is using the right build/version)
05. At the R> prompt:
SHOW MULTI (It should be ON)
06. At the R> prompt:
SHOW STATICDB (compare that with other CONNected users. They all MUST follows the same rule when connected to the same database in a multi-user environment)
07. At the R> prompt, manually switch to the network drive, for example:
F: CD \DBDirectory CONN dbname IDENTIFIED BY OwnerName Password
What happens?
Good Luck!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
