Your config file should be directing your temp files to a local folder . You should also include a command SET RESOURCE TO ( local pathed foxuser.dbf ) IOW each user has their own local foxuser in a folder to which they have full permissions.

>I have a VPF 7 application that runs on a peer-to-peer Windows XP network. I was just installed on a new network set up over the weekend but it will not work correctly. I have nothing to do with the network installation but I suspect that is where the problem lies. We have run it in this configuration many times with no difficulty.

After login, it comes up with error "Cannot update cursor". Then if try to update any files, get message "Record is read only". We have checked the properties of the files and they are NOT read-only. What else should we check? Are there settings somewhere that we should look at?

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
