Hi,
Check that disk caching & oplocking are disabled on the server.

>Hi All,
>
>I have encountered weird occurrences when running a VFP application via Remote Desktop.
>
>The VFP (accounting) application is installed in a server PC (Windows Server 2003) setup with Terminal Services and Remote Access Service.
>
>The users from the remote offices then access it by Dialup Networking, then using Remote Desktop Connection to access the accounting system.
>
>99% of the time the application works just fine. However, there were times when the following incidents occurred:
>
>1. A few transactions (like a Sales Invoice), upon posting them, resulted in a 'double' post! - the journal distributions of the 'double posted' transactions were posted twice on the resulting transaction ledger!
>
>2. On the other hand, some transactions were posted successfully, but the original transaction record was not marked (a logical field) accordingly as posted!
>
>Needless to say, these aberrations are unacceptable.
>
>My question is: IS TERMINAL SERVICES UNRELIABLE in this regard? Has anybody encountered the same experiences as I have?
>
>As added information, the place were the server is usually encounters fluctuations in voltage. Could this be the culprit?
>
>What can I do to prevent these from happening?
>
>My advanced gratitude for any help.
>
>Sincerely,
>Dennis
