Database issues

[Denis]

Hi.____We have Clipper 5.3b/Blinker3 apps running using Advantage^s DBFCDXAX driver. In the different locations of the company, versions 9, 11 and 12 of R&R are being used.____When a database is opened by Advantage through an application first and then a report using the same file is opened, there is no issue. Both actually run fine.____But when the reverse situation occurs (i.e. the database is opened first through a report and then we start an application using the same file), the application is unable to open the file until the report is closed, thus causing an problem.____Is there any way for me to configure R&R so that this will not happen?____Thanks in advance.____Denis.

As long as you have checked the Allow other users to update database tables in Options Default Settings, R&R will open files as read only shared. It could be that the app is asking for exclusive usage on open.____Kathleen__R&R Support

The only issue we have had as Kathleen indicated is when the application tries to open the file exclusively. Then it would not work, but that is what is intended in that case.____Cliff.
