You all are right but why the same application has no problem when it
running on users workstations (20 workstations at the same time) and
connecting to the same database files?

And then you call Citrix and they say its a Microsoft problem...
And then you realise you simply should've asked this list ;)

But if you talk to the OS people they will say it is a hardware problem
and then when you show them clearly how it is none of those they all say
it is a Citrix problem! :-)

Its not because the developers have forgotten to open a database/table
in shared mode is it?
Or that when they've implemented a lock for an update they've used a
database lock rather than a record lock
Because of course, app developers *never* get it wrong, its always the
OS' fault.

Subject: [THIN] Locked files in FoxPro published applications
We have a strange issue with a FoxPro application. From time to time
some DBF files are locked and from FileMon I can see "Sharing Violation"
error.
Developers says that there is no error in the application and that it
works when it run on users' PCs.
It's just enough to log off all application's users and everything works
again normally for a while (sometimes an hour, sometimes a day)
I have come across Microsoft article
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818528/
<http://support.microsoft.com/kb/818528/> were it is suggested to
change Windows behavior to maintain the data structures per users
instead of per computer but I'm not sure if it helps as we don't have
such a problem with any other application. I don't want to change the
setting yet because I don't want to screw up other published
applications on our servers.
Server configuration: Citrix Metaframe XP, Windows 2000 SP4
Do you have any idea?
