Re: v17 64-bit -- error opening datafile on MacOS file server

[Koen Van Hooreweghe via 4D_Tech]

Hi Allan,

I've seen a similar issue when opening a 4D database which resides on a mounted 
disk (macOS, both structure and data on the remote). This is a confirmed bug 
(ACI0099881) in 4D which started from v17R4 (and R5+R6). Unfortunately this bug 
will not get fixed in v17. But I can confirm it is fixed in the v18 beta 
versions.

So, either go back to 4D v17.3 (not R-version) or v17R3 (but miss a few new 
features) or move forward to v18 beta.

Kind regards,
Koen

v17 64-bit -- error opening datafile on MacOS file server

[Allan Udy via 4D_Tech]

Hi all,

We use a couple of very small databases in-house, where the datafile is 
stored on a file server (MacOS), and various people will periodically 
access the system and then quit.


Just upgraded one of these to v17R6 64-bit (from v17R4 32-bit)    at 
startup a record is written into the datafile and this action 
immediately throws a - error:  "No more room to save the record."


If we copy the datafile off the file server onto a local hard disk, the 
4D v17R6 64-bit version of the app opens the datafile perfectly fine, 
with no error.


It appears that this is a 64-bit problem, as the earlier v17R4 32-bit 
version works fine, where-as R4 and R5 64-bit also display the same error.


I've tried with two different client machines (both Macs), and two 
different file server -- same result.


Anyone have any suggestions as to what may be going on here?  What am I 
missing?


Cheers,
Allan Udy
