That's correct Dennis. I can access the databases and they stay out of sync most of the day with no apparent side effects, except maybe a whole lot of .$$$ files which have to be manually deleted all the time (even though scratch is set to the local workstation) -- another reported event without explanation...

You can't issue an RBSYNC command if you are connected. If you issue the RBSYNC command as: �RBSYNC dbfiles it only checks them. To sync them it must be as: �RBSYNC dbfiles EXECUTE (If you already know all this, I apologize.) If you have AUTOSYNC ON then my understanding is that the four dbfiles will be time stamped with the same date/time so that your can connect to your DB. So I guess you are saying that your dbfiles get out of sync on a consistent basis.

I have reported this and have never had an explanation as to why this happens. Several times a week, I unload and recreate both db's so there is no corruption involved, I don't think. ________________________________________ From: [email protected] [ mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dennis Fleming Sent: Tuesday, March 08, 2005 1:24 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: rbsync I had a customer where they had some network NIC problems and eventually I had the RBSYNC as AUTOSYNC ON in the RBase config file. It worked, but you are probably masking a problem where one or more user updates are not getting the four RBfiles updated and time stamped properly. I.e., you could be overlooking database corruption. Dennis ***** At 01:00 PM 3/8/2005, you wrote: Anyone, � Where is the best place to put RBSYNC?� Exiting or Connecting? � Thanks.
