Ben, not sure if you have tried this, but have you searched the client machine for all occurences of RBASE.DAT. You might find a surprise.

At this time nothing seems silly. Yes, I have checked and
multi is set to on.
I have just found another quirk.. I can connect to the db
with RBWin65, just not RBase DOS65..
Things are getting weird.. If I ever find this gremlin,
I'm gonna squast it flat.

Jim,

This is probably silly... but have you checked her "Multi" setting? Since
she

can connect solo but not after someone else has.

We are using TCP/IP, and IPX for Netware.. We have to use the IPX because

Will look down this road, if it comes to this though.

I think I'm narrowing things down. It's definitly just this one user, and
any time anyone is connected to any db, she cannot get into it.. Been
working OK for years now, but what's changed could be a million things.
She only access the db's once or twice every couple of weeks or so.
As and admin she is all the time tweaking, changing things, installing/
testing software, so this could be a real fun one.

What network protocols are you running? I used to run 3 protocolls TCPIP
Netbios and netware (for historic reasons) and had frequent problem as
you describe. Now I am on TCPIP only and it works fine

Razzak, Javier

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

4. Cannot connect using CONN at R:>  for this user..


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.
