Sometimes when I do dbappend() I get a corruption detected DBFNTX 1210 error. When I pack the dbf file and delete the index files and create new index files it goes OK for a few dbappend()'s. But after 5 or 6 dbappend()'s I get the same error again. This problem happens not on a stand-alone machine but always on one particular fileserver. The way I handle rlock and flock is the same as in other program I wrote with no prblems. The problems happens on more then one workstation. Clipper 5.2e Novell 3.12 on a Pentium 90mhz with 32 mb and 1 Gb Workstations are varying from 386 till 486. IPX and NETX Who can HELP me!

Recently we got a new customer who's using PC-NFS 5.1d on a unix-host running Solaris 2.3. On that network it's impossible to open a file in SHARED-mode if there is an associated .CDX. EXCLUSIVE-mode works ok, and opening a .DBF in SHARED-mode without .CDX also works. According to the PC-NFS manuals, if drives are mounted with the /ms parameter, the network should be compatible with the MS-DOS record/file locking rules. However, they say that opening files in "compatibility mode" works different. I have the following questions: 1. Has anyone heard of this problem before ? 2. Does anybody know of any solution or workaround ? 3. Does anybody have experience with other RDD's on this type of network ? My customer now only can use my program in single-user mode and they are getting behind schedule. I hope someone is able to help. Thanks in advance. Bye, Tom --- * Origin: HEKOM Holland.

But after 5 or 6 ->dbappend()'s I get the same error again. That's a toughie. The usual reason for a 1210 error is that the index file has gotten out of sync with the .dbf file. It would _appear_ that maybe you're not opening all of the index files you think you are when run on that particular server. Have you tried upping the number of file handles available on that server? If you're using the //F:xxx environment variable, are you sure it's set on that server? The best bet would be to run the program under the debugger on that computer and assure that all of the index files are in fact opening properly. Could also be a SHARE problem. If you're loading SHARE, make sure you're doing it as SHARE /L:200 /F:4096 at a minimum, as the defaults are usually too low. Are you issuing a COMMIT after each append?

You may have to rewrite some screen and picture clause stuff if it is, but the only other option is to recompile in Clipper 5.

It's for dBase3 .DBF files, DBT's and NTX's. Some of the tools I currently use are dSalvage, DBTcheck, DBU and FoxPlus. I'm willing to spend the money for something that can expand my abilities beyond those utilities but I just can't find anything out there for the old format dBase3 stuff. Any ideas?
