Hi,

We sell our POS application complete with hardware. We use dbf's for data storage. For our larger clients (more than three workstations) we include a real file server, but for the smaller stores, we use peer to peer networking, relying on Windows XP. This set up has served us well but soon we will not be able to get our computers (we use Dell Optiplex) with XP.

I may be wrong, but I think I heard that VISTA does not handle file locking/updates correctly in a peer to peer environment. If that is the case, what is the recommended course of action?

Thanks,

Ken
