Dan
Thanks for responding - I was beginning to think my email got lost in the
ether..
Here's the code that both users share:
SEL lname, fn, memstat, suspend1, expell, profname, nickname +
stbal INTO vln IND v1, vfn IND v2, vm IND v3, vsus IND v4, +
vexp IND v5, vprof IND v6, vnick IND v7, vwkdue IND v8 FROM persdata +
WHERE ss# = .vss
--grab just first letter of memstat. KAD for David Blocker 07/10/1997
SET VAR VM = (LJS(.VM,1))
SEL MAX qtr INTO vquart IND v8 FROM dues WHERE ss# = .vss
SEL SUM duespd INTO vpd IND v9 FROM dues WHERE +
(ss# = .vss AND qtr = .vquart)
SET VAR vs1 = (SGET(.vss,3,1)), vs2 = (SGET(.vss,2,4)),+
vs3 = (SGET(.vss,4,6))
CLS
SET NULL " "
DISPLAY mem IN main45.apx at 2
SET VAR v2s = (.vs1 + "-" + .vs2 + "-" + .vs3)
CLE VAR vs1, vs2, vs3, v1, v2, v3, v4, v5, v6, v7, v8, v9
WRI .vln AT 2 8 YELLOW ON BLUE; WRI .v2s AT 2 43 YELLOW ON BLUE

This puts the information on top of the screen, lines 1- 4. The code
following brings up another menu of options, each of which leads to a form for
entering or editing some kind of data about the person displayed. The
"flipping" happens randomly, and can happen on either of the 2 workstations
involved, with one user in a menu, or on a form.

Hi David,
You are right, this shouldn't happen the way you explained it.
Can you give an example of the code that does this lookup for both users?

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?
