I have a group of 950 small (25k) record stacks, each of which contains a separate business account. I have 2 shared stacks "PPR.rev" and "paymentReceipt.rev", as well as two "anchor" standalones. The standalones serve only as navigational tools to open up PPR and paymentReceipt. From PPR, it is possible to open any of the 950 record stacks.

Whenever any stack is opened, it creates (from a preopencard script) a Busy*.txt file, such as "BusypaymentReceipt.txt". This is to prevent more than one person accessing a stack at a time.
All of the stacks have in their closestack script that which deletes the Busy file, for instance:


if there is a file "BusypaymentReceipt.txt" then delete file "BusypaymentReceipt.txt"

This almost always works perfectly, but sometimes, a closing stack for some reason fails to delete its Busy file. I can manually delete the file if needed, but that's obviously not what I intended, and I certainly don't want to ask anyone else to do so! Does anyone have any ideas why the busy file deletion is not entirely reliable? Script problem?

I have this app in operation on WinXP Pro, and the stacks and standalones were built using Rev 2.02. I do have Rev 2.5.1 on Mac OSX, so I suppose I could recreate the standalones and the two shared stacks on the Mac and move them over to the Windows network...that is, if there is a known issue affecting Rev 2.02 on Windows that might cause this problem.

TIA, Kurt
