Subject Re: Running 2 processes or functions simultaneously From Michael <michael@abstractservices.com.au> Date Tue, 24 Jan 2023 03:50:29 -0500 Newsgroups dbase.getting-started Attachment(s) Screenshot_20230124_073916.png Thanks Akshat, The only difference i see in the BDE is that I have more open files and that I didnt have a shared memory location. Thanks for the top tips of possible hiccups. I do have one exclusive file in the main app but its not accessed at all in the syncing app that runs in the background. At first attempt before I even start reading files it crashed with the error message attached. Does it make a difference if it runs as administrator or standard user? Thanks again for your top tips. My Best, Michael.

They would eventually conflict or crash, if they ran at all. I would always get an insufficient resources to run this executable message. Is there any special settings I need to put in the BDE to be able to run a second exe or special commands within the program to run independantly? > > > I do not remember doing any setting specifically. > > Usually independent exe will not conflict if you have prepared them well > for shared usage.
