Hello David,

I am not sure if this is applicable but it popped into my head as I think of
common issues between users.  

 

*         Is the scratch folder for temporary files their local computer or
the same for all on the server?

*         REFRESH <> 0 (Maybe?)

*         Display command?

*         Maybe something in the rbase.cfg file if it is being shared among
users?

 

I hope at least it sparks a new venue of thought in your troubleshooting
process.

Good luck,

Manuel

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Strange Multi-user Behavior

 

Dear Friends

 

I have some very strange behaviour going on in a multi-user application that
I've never encountered before.

 

Application: still on R:Base 6.1a for DOS (upgrade in progress)

 

User A:   selects a menu item that just LOOKS UP variables and DISPLAYS the
variables on the screen information about a member in the organization: say
Alan Adams.  This data is NOT on a form - just using WRITE commands to put
variables on the screen

 

The code then does NOT refresh that display, but displays either a menu of
choices under the display  or a form with data from a different table.

 

User B:  Selects the same menu item: diplays a different user in the same
fashion, say Ben Billings

 

User A - SOMETIMES - not always by any means - will now look up at the
screen, having taken NO action on the keyboard, and finds that Alan Adams'
info has been replaced by Ben Billings'

 

I can't even begin to conceive how this could happen!!!  Any ideas?
