Brad, I'm curious as well. Yesterday afternoon I found a virus on the network. I had checked our system with two different virus scans and didn't find anything. Then someone recommended the MalwareBytes.org version and it found some stuff. I had high hopes for that being the issue but I have something else going on that I'm still trying to track down. I have some IT guru checking to see what the Microsoft security updates that happened on Jan 10 might have adjusted.
This happened while I was on V8. However, I did my update to V9 during this timeframe so I don't believe there is a V9 issue. The really strange thing is that the first user in doesn't have a problem. The second one in the mainmenu takes awhile to load. It's only a 100kb RFF but uses PROPERTY commands extensively.

Compiled app? Windows 2003 Server, or?

Something happened overnight on Jan 10 that has brought the database to it's knees. I can only have one at a time in if they want to get anything done. AUTOCHK shows everything is fine. The database is reloaded everynight. So I know it's not an R:BASE thing. File transfer across the network is fine. It's like something is watchdogging the RX files. I don't have antivirus running. I'm kinda at a loss.

That is what I needed to know. I know the UNLOAD/LOAD the preferred method, but I needed to know about the PACK as there are times that a full unload/load is difficult to fit in. (Not that I am having any serious problem. 6 years on a production database with 10 wireless units on fork trucks, several "unschooled users" , 300,000 sqft facility with ethernet wiring running who knows where and not a single corruption until today! A quick 2 minute PACK got us back and running, but I wanted to check about it anyway.) A good load/unload will wait until tonight Thanks again. -Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lawrence Lustig" <[email protected]> To: "RBASE-L Mailing List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 19, 2011 1:46:08 PM Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Pack versus Unload/Load << Will the PACK command fix anything that a Load/Unload would fix? At least in theory? >> No. With PACK you don't get a new copy of the RB1 file so problems in the database structure (like mismatched PK/FK relationships) will carry over. -- Larry
