Sometimes, this error message will not show up if their computer is

Anyone face this b4? Any solution?

files are located? This error message usually means another process had the
files locked.

for NT on that server? If it's prior to SP4, there is a bug in WinNT that can
cause this error:

PB 7.0.1, p-code, WinNT
Maybe, 1 month ago I got this problem with on of my applications. I was
going through the program with no problem, I had to save one file from my
application and I did it in a different folder than the current one. After
that, the parts of the application that were working started giving me that
error. That was happening only when I executed the program from a shorcut. I
noticed that the problem was created if I deleted one of the PBD's while the
application was running. So, I finally found that the Start-In folder of the
shortcut was different than the folder where the application was placed. I
changed the Start-In folder to where the application was and the problem was
fixed.
Anyways, I didn't find a good explanation about the problem.
Now, we started testing our applications on Windows 2000, and I started
having the same problem. This could be more complicated because we are
running several Citrix clients on the same Citrix server, executing the same
Exe and Pbd's. Is there any restriction regarding this type of
configuration? The server has 2 processors, 2GB RAM, Windows 2000, Oracle 8,
Citrix. The clients are Windows NT, Citrix clients.
And, there are NO anti-virus installed in either the server or the client
machines!!
I hope this helps, and I hope I can find some solution...

That's because the working directory changed, and apparently PB was relying
on that to find the PBDs.

Well, that would definately cause a problem. PB loads objects from a PBD on
an as-needed basis. It does not load the entire thing in memory when the app
is first run.

That would happen with any application if the directory that the applications
files were in were not in the path.
>Anyways, I didn't find a good explanation about the problem.
The error message means that PB is trying to load an object out of a file that
is in the library search path, and can't do that either because (a) it can't
find the file or (b) it can find the file, but some other application has the
file locked.

Any application that locks the files will cause this problem. This might
certainly include Citrix clients running on the same machine.

But I still wonder if it's the same Powerbuilder that is locking the PBDs
for read and write. I expect the PBDs to be locked for Read Only.
So are the PBDs locked for reading because we have many users using them or
because there is an aditional process locking them ?

Generally it's another process. Do you have any utilities that could look
at the file locks and determine who placed them? My LAN administration
experience is more Novell related, I could tell you in a second how to figure
it out on a NetWare server. Don't have a clue how to figure it out on an
NT server.
