No special server software, normal p2p. The computer isn't joined or trusted by the server domain (didn't think such a thing was possable with win98.) Perms are loaded from the 2kserver (in mixed mode.) The said win98 box can login to the domain, browse, and list users for permissions from the...
Got an odd situation here, I have a win98box that has 3 printers, and some shared files haning off of it, that is it's only job (files are only backups of the files that reside on the 2k server.) Some of my users, after changing their passwords (policy to change them every few months) when they...
Yup, tried that several times. I ended up disabling caching of offline objects and the problem went away. Odd that it was caching MDB files, even tho, all the m$ white papers say "No", but disabling that seems to have done the trick. Thanks for all of your posts.
Thanks,
James

Changed tcp size bigger/same/smaller than what's on ms's site, and the issue only got faster/slower/slowest. I'm starting to think this may be due to ole or something, but it's odd that it just started all of a sudden. And trying this from other machines, with a crossover cable etc doesn't help...
Really, it doesn't seem to be a db issue at heart. Because what ever app touches that file, be it explorer, copy, xcopy, it seems for some reason either windows or other copies the entire file to memory. (When on the file server.)
I'm going to try the TCP/IP setting suggested by bcastner.
Also...
I can't even do that. This software is so bad... You take the stability of win 95 and halve that, add on sorry support, and a licensing system that is incompatable with NT anything (nt4, 2k, xp) and you just described the software. They don't and according to the devs., will never have a real...
While i know all about all what you just described, unfortunately, this db is used by our engineering software. They are unwilling to move on to a real database server. So right now i'm stuck whith this (looking at some better software from a different vendor.) Thanks for your post.
Thanks...
I hear you about the performace issues etc with access on many clients, unfortunately, the software we use is 3rd party propritary, and absolutly does not use any real SQL or otherwise server engine. (The software is called Alpine View, and its used in designing roof and floor trusses.) This...
I have an access 2000 db that is read from a number of workstations through a share (varies from 2kpro sp4 latest to xp sp2 latest) from a file server (windows 2k adv server, sp4, latest) over a 100mb to 1000mb network (server and 3 other machines are 1000mb.) Database size is about 190mb...
Maybe I'm not calling what I'm looking for the correct thing, so I'll try to re-explain:
I have a program that tries to access a file for write, however, I get file locked error, so, in order to write I have to keep trying to write. What I was looking for was the PROGRAM (not user, not person...
Hmm,
That looks good, when you have people sharing. I guess I wasn't totaly clear. Owner = Application, and this will just be checking local files. IE, word.exe is locking my_word_doc.doc (i would query my_word_doc.doc and it would give either a name or handle (doesn't matter))
bjd4jc, Thank...
I'm trying to figure out how to determing the owner (exe or name) of a file (txt or binary) that is locked. I've googled and googled and searched on here for some code that'll show me how to do this, but have come up blank (maybe wrong search string.)
I've seen an app that does this...
Man,
If that were any simpler I could have done that sleeping. I looked every where except tool bars-> customize -> reset. Thanks for you help TysonPrice, you get a star. :^D
Thanks,

In my vbide Make <exename> is greyed out?? This happened after the ide crashed. I am using sp6, and have googled, and searched microsoft msdn also tek-tips (maybe the wrong string who knows) and didn't come up with any fix. Any takers? I really don't want to uninstall-reinstall but <sigh> if...
This one has me stuck in the dark....
A bit of background: I am working on an app that opens deflated (compressed) logs. Everything works, except, the logs can be a few mb.
The problem i am running into is that to convert the byte data (1024 chunks) into readable strings i do this:
For i = 0...
Does anyone know how to use zlib dll (zlibwapi.dll ver 1.2.1) to 'stream' the compresssion. This can be done in c/c++, however, i am not vested in either of those languages. I have found samples on how to compress/decompress but in order to decompress, you need to know the org. string lenght...
Nope, ftp is out, i got it working tho. Thanks for your help
Thanks,

I found a sample app on the inet that will downloads a text file of the internet. I am trying to modify it to download binary information and save it to a file (an auto updater if you will). I have no intrest in using the inet control. I want to do this strictly with winsock componets. the...
Does anyone know of any recorces as of yet on crating a snapin in vb? I know this thread is a bit old, but it seems in the vast sea of the internet, this is the lock ness monster. :D

Well, i figured it out after much googling, searching, and meditation.
Declares are overkill, this is because i also check the status of the service after i try to kill it, if it is still in the "running" state, then i try again. I found this code quickly to check status.
Here's what i have...
