>>A client reported that his NT server does not release the databases when my application exits. I created a test executable, that simply opens a database, pops up a messagebox, then closes the databases and quits. When I run this directly on the server, the file gets closed. When I run it from a 98 or NT workstation, accessing the executable on the server, the file remains open until I log off of NT. I have tried this in every version of VFP, and they all behave the same, so I assume it is a problem with my network connection, or the protocols I am running. Any suggestions?

>Yes - make sure the client has at least NT SP5 applied to the server; I remember a related problem that was addressed in NT Server in SP4 or SP5, and SP5 was much more stable. I'm running SP6, but it's only been in place here for about a week, so i can't say if it's 'safer' than SP5.

Thanks Ed. I'm trying that now
