There is an acknowledged problem with Access 2.0 and 4.11. Doesn't happen with 4.10, though -- but (here's the really interesting part) MS doesn't certify that Access will work on any server version higher than 3.11! At least, that's what I got out of some of the articles in the MS KB. MS has a service pack for Access 2.0 that will fix the problem. Don't remember the name of the file, but it is available from the MS www site.

RS> By your knowledge, will IntraNetware work with 4.10? If you mean, can you install both into the same tree, the answer is yes. I have 4-4.10 and 3-4.11 servers in the same tree for a few months.

Syncing shut down in our tree because one of the servers in a partition of the tree shutdown TTS. All I had to do was ENABLE TTS on the server where it shut down and bingo, sync'ing was back working. Course, with a week's worth of transactions, it took a while to sync, even with all servers on FDDI. framsey@goodyear.com; CIS 71631,1032 - CNE, CNA-4, PE --- EZPoint V2.2 * Origin: -- A Point on Pine Lake (330)-796-3146 -- (1:157/603.70) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 194 NOVELL Ref: E4A00006 Date: 04/05/97 From: FRANK RAMSEY Time: 09:01pm \/To: TONY WHITE (Read 4 times) Subj: Re: NDS corruption TW> Frank Ramsey wrote in a message to All: FR> Anyone suffered thru NDS corruption?
