The BDE does not work with NT Clients (inc W2K, XP) accessing a database on a Win9x Server (inc Me). You need to check your facts, Leslie. Although it would be strange to arrange things like that, there's no reason why you shouldn't, and I have seen it done, in places where the sole NT server was reserved for use as a Domain Server, for example. WinME, OTOH, should be avoided, and not just for reasons of problems with Paradox ! |
The facts are as follows:
Problems have been reported a number of times on the BDE newsgroup that when
a Win2K workstation accesses a Paradox Database on a Win9x
file server there are problems. The advice given by TeamB is to move the
database to the Win2K (or XP or NT) machine. This invariably solves the
problem. Its as simple as that. I do agree that there are not that many
problems reported with NT anymore, perhaps because its not used much now or
as I said it might depend upon the service pack.
So TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT. I personally don't care !!!!!!!!!
If it helps good, if not nothing lost.
Even if your experiences are different, it does not give you the right to
ignore experience of others, thats just plain arrogant. I have simply passed
on those experiences in the hope that Ike can solve his problem.
After all thats whats its about, not who is right (or should I say wrong).
Finally, I might point out that I use WinMe on many of my machines without
*any* problems, and yet you state that Me should be avoided.
Where did these facts come from ??? Are your facts any better than mine ?
Leslie.
