Tony
I am delighted to see your post, since we saw the exact problem last year.
We cannot solve it fully. It seems that at least one user takes a full file lock on files it uses, whether they be .dbf or .exe files, cutting everybody else out. I believe there is an optimistic/pessimistic lock setting in the novell client. Is that it?
If you sort it out, *please* email my uk address (
jryan@platocis.co.uk)!!
Regards
JR

yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
