My client has recently installed a new server - changed from Netware to
Windows NT. I gave them the information about the OpportunisticLocking
setting on the server, (from the FAQs) and they say they have implemented
it. They are consistantly getting Index of Date on one table. (We rebuild
it, and it happens again within a couple of hours.) The last time the error
showed on one PC, they verified the table on another - it was fine.

Any explanation, or especially any advice would be most welcome!

TIA,

Barbara

Barbara,

The 2 most likely candidates are that the table has corruption that can't be
fixed by tutility or that you have some network problem that is showing up in
the database, where most network problems will surface first.

Try using a fresh, empty copy of the table (if you don't keep them it is good
practice to start) or build the table up from scratch and move just the data to
it. If that doesn't fix the problem they should start testing all components of
the net (cards, hubs, cable, etc.) for any problems. This can be tedious and
time consuming.

Is anyone using the server as a workstation? If so, LOCAL SHARE in the BDE
configuration must be set to TRUE.

Jeff :

They say that the server is stand-alone - nobody is using it.

Thanks,

Barbara

You still want to use the settings from the NT server settings faq.

Generally, most index problems are caused by improper program termination
(somebody rebooting or shutting down a workstation mid-process or power
failure), network hardware problems, someone working on the file server with
Local Share set to false, or the Opportunistic Locking thing.

It can definately be hard to trace, even when you're on-site. I had a
crashed index on one of my systems this morning - maybe due to the lunar
eclipse?

I already forwarded the post to Mike's email so he wouldn't miss
it.

I have a peculiar problem which requires help from someone well-versed in
Paradox 8 and , preferably a social science background.

Three years ago, with the help of a friend and knowing the basics of Paradox 7,
I set up a relational database which connects seven databases, each one having
tables ranging from 1 to 9.. they are shaped/connected in the form of a
pyramid.

A key databse links to two lower order ones..each lower table is then linked to
two others..they all have to do with tracking land data(buying and selling,
consolidations) and loans..covering a period of a 100 years.

Havng spent two years in dta a entry alone, it is now time to run some queries
and reports which would have to gather dtata in several cominations..oth by
time and space..

I do not have any expertise on this. I am looking for someone whho might be
able to provide tutorials or write the queries themselves or run reports..

I will be happy to pay something nominal as I am a graduate student. Preference
is for someone who lives in mid-Michigan, in and around Flint, Saginaw, Ann
Aror, etc..

If anyone is interested, please email me privately at: aai...@flint.umich.edu

Thank you.
