Subject Re: Windows Server 2016 Multiple users access of dbf files From Kinsley <kinsleyr@gmail.com> Date Thu, 08 Oct 2020 08:41:43 -0400 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started This is great Ken and Akshat - Made that change and now it appears to be working correctly without errors (fingers crossed). Found this in the help file too: Note: To accommodate record locking in a Windows NT server environment, it is necessary to set the BDE's localShare parameter to "true". This setting can be accessed through the BDE Administrator by selecting Configuration/System/Init So, I just wish I had asked this question sooner (or searched the manual) as it is probably a couple of weeks of trying to manage bad data issues.
